They’re Here

From Viennale

Timely hardly seems sufficient a word for Laura Poitras and Rachel Lauren Mueller’s essential short, which documents local attempts to resist ICE in the sub-zero temperatures of a wintry Minneapolis: lengthy pursuits by car and conversation with those hiding in the trunk, confrontations on the street and billowing clouds of nerve gas, a vast database of local sightings that opens out to capture the entire country. If THEY’RE HERE shows a resistance organised with formidable precision, the true horror is what this conveys about the sheer scale of the threat. (James Lattimer)
