There are estimates that over a million people attempt to cross illegally from Mexico to the United States every year - some succeed, some don't. Aspiring director Travis (Scott Mechlowicz) and his crew make the journey themselves in order to chronicle the phenomenon of undocumented immigration, but after crossing the border seemingly unnoticed they encounter a band of violent right-wing radicals determined to carry out the sort of 'justice' that the legal system cannot. Writer-director Chris Peckover makes a powerful debut with UNDOCUMENTED, a grueling exercise in human cruelty that blends biting social commentary with grim violence for an unforgettable experience.

angielski A very pleasant surprise. A group of students are making a documentary about Mexican refugees and, as it’s usual in the genre, they get into trouble. No, they don’t get lost in the forest, they get in conflict with some kind of radical organisation that solves the immigrant problem in their own (radical) way. The static documentary format blends with live found footage, and from to time it’s shot like a normal feature film. Undocumented knows how use the best of these strategies while avoiding their shortcomings and limitations. The result is an original and tense film with a format that doesn’t grind but entertains. Thematically, Undocumented forms an interesting trio with the recent (and equally good) Territories and Red State. Make yourself some time and watch all three at once. ()
