Malabar

As the American government continues to wage a war against undocumented immigrants, thousands of families are being torn apart, forced to live underground and off the grid, with no safety net to catch their fall. Malabar tells the story of Celi, an undocumented mother of two who is trying to rescue her sister from being deported when her youngest son suddenly goes missing during a restroom stop. Unable to turn to the authorities for help, Celi has to embark on a frantic search through the Florida Backcountry to find him. (Miami Film Festival)
