ABOUT THE FILM:

Aurora, Colorado's GEO ICE facility is a private immigrant detention center whose shadowy practices are obscured from advocates and lawmakers alike. But through the stories of those fighting to free their loved ones, and those who have done time on the inside, this film will shine a light on a facility too often shrouded in darkness.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKER:

Jeremy Flood is a videographer, director, and editor based in Denver, Colorado. He specializes in cinematic documentary storytelling and has worked with political campaigns, unions, and advocacy organizations to tell stories that move people to action.

FILMMAKER STATEMENT:

The Facility stands astride one of the largest movements for racial justice in history, and a global pandemic that has claimed the lives of far too many. This detention center is a monument to a culture of racial dehumanization and gross profiteering, and as a black filmmaker, I feel a personal responsibility to help expose the systems that brutalize black and brown lives with impunity. The documentary aims to bring a local perspective to the devastating consequences of our immigration policy, and offer a microcosm of what is being done to communities across this country.
