A powerful new documentary from CalMatters — the organization’s first venture into film, thanks to a partnership with Evident Media and Bellingcat — is a revealing look into a U.S. Border Patrol operation.
The collaboration exposes significant discrepancies between official accounts and the reality of a three-day immigration raid in Bakersfield. The investigation and documentary stems from Olmos’ initial Jan. 10 report for CalMatters on the immigration raids in Kern County in the final days of Joe Biden’s presidency.
“This deeply-reported CalMatters investigation becomes richly powerful through the partnership with Evident and Bellingcat,” said CalMatters Editor-in-Chief Kristen Go. “The meshing of on-the-ground reporting and exhaustive examination with bold visual storytelling and gripping video editing will reach and resonate with a wide audience.”
