Marco and Viri—members of the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, a radical group fighting unjust deportations—deliberately get detained by Border Patrol and thrown into a shadowy for-profit detention center in Florida. However, things don’t go to plan when they attempt a reverse prison break.

Winner of two prizes at Sundance, this tense genre hybrid folds heist and prison-escape tropes into its nonfiction carapace to explore a harrowing chapter in America’s ongoing maltreatment of immigrants. Merging real footage with reenactments, the film makes for bold and controversial storytelling.
