Today

  • A still from Alex Rivera's film Sleep Dealer. A man with his mouth obstructed by some strange technology is connected to a larger machine by a mess of blue wires. He is looking intently ahead as if looking somewhere else.

    Mexico. The near future. Memo Cruz has always dreamed of leaving his tiny village and heading north. But when he is ultimately forced to leave, Memo finds a future so bizarre – border walls, shantytowns, hi-tech factories, remote control drones and aqua-terrorists – that it looks a lot like today.

  • A still from the 2019 film The Infiltrators. A row of detainees in orange jumpsuits. Two people are clearly in focus.

    The Infiltrators tells the true story of a radical group of undocumented youth – Dreamers – who get themselves detained in order to infiltrate a shadowy detention center and help other immigrants get free.
