Film Screening: The Infiltrators

THE INFILTRATORS (2019, 95 min.) is a docu-thriller that tells the true story of young immigrants who get arrested by Border Patrol, and put in a shadowy for-profit detention center – on purpose. Marco and Viri are members of the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, a group of radical Dreamers who are on a mission to stop deportations. And the best place to stop deportations, they believe, is in detention.

This event is supported by the Office of the Provost, the Center for Documentary Studies, Duke History Department, the Center for Latin American Stuides, and the Duke Human Rights Center @ FHI with collaboration with MiGente, Beyond Borders, Sunrise, La Semilla, and the Forum @ FHI

Presented as part of the Rights! Camera! Action! film series sponsored by the Duke Human Rights Center at FHI.

Information about parking and entering the building, much of which can also be found here:

We apologize in advance that parking might feel challenging, and we hope this guidance might help a little. Note that the South side of the building is the one closer to Chapel Hill Street. The North side is the side closer to the railroad tracks.

• If you have a pass to park anywhere on Duke’s campus, we request that you park in one of the gated lots on the South side of Smith Warehouse. Your use of those spaces will free visitor parking and non-gated spaces for our visitors who don’t have access to a pass.
• If you need accessible parking, there are a few spaces adjacent to Smith Warehouse outside Bay 4 and Bay 2. Ramp access is through Bay 6.
• The closest designated visitor parking is in the metered lot which is at the corner of Buchanan Blvd and Maxwell Ave (the designation for the road that runs along the south side of the building, connecting Buchanan Blvd with Campus Drive). These meters are active 24/7, and the rate is $2/hr. Payment is through Duke Blue Spot. There is a scannable QR code on a sign at the entrance to the lot.
• Free visitor parking is across Buchanan Blvd. The easiest way to prepare to use one of those lots is to consult the map and locate the blue circled areas to the east and northeast of the building. (Thanks to DHRC @ FHI for compiling this info on their website.)
