Undocumented

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.
