Indie Shocker Shows White Couple Torturing Illegal Immigrants
“Beneath Us” isn’t subtle, from its trailer down to that provocative title.
The upcoming thriller, from Vital Pictures, features a ripped-from-the-headlines story tied to the immigration debate. An affluent white couple invite a group of illegal immigrants from Mexico onto their property to complete renovations on a guest house.
It’s a scenario that likely plays out each day across America. Only one part of that narrative isn’t so common.
“They chased the American dream … now, they’ll have to survive their own nightmare…” the trailer warns.

“We build your houses for you, and you bury us in them,” a worker complains. Meanwhile the couple is straight out of Central Casting: smarmy, smug and spraying the workers with water like they were disobedient pets.
Max Pachman makes his directorial debut in a film that employed a heavily Latino crew to bring the story to the public.
Vital Pictures/NME is a partnership between industry veterans Luis Guerrero and Chris Lemos and the endeavor’s first film has strong LatinX representation both behind the camera and in front of it. The cast is led by James Tupper (Big Little Lies), Lynn Collins (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Rigo Sanchez (Animal Kingdom), Roberto ‘Sanz’ Sanchez (2 Fast 2 Furious), Thomas Chavira (Shameless), and Josue Aguirre (Veronica Mars).
“Beneath Us” hasn’t generated a crush of media attention yet, but the liberal pop culture site ScreenRant.com offered up the most positive spin on the film’s messaging.
Beneath Us aspires to start conversations amongst all cultural and racial groups by bridging the divide and making these types of problems more accessible by putting it front and center.
Other outlets are dubbing the movie “socially conscious” due to the subject matter.
“Beneath Us” marks the latest Hollywood effort to impact the immigration debate from the hard Left. We’ve already seen the progressive reboot of “Party of Five,” a show which hammers ICE agents and suggests an open borders policy is the only humane path.
The show’s creative team claim its content is apolitical, and President Donald Trump’s name isn’t part of the narrative. The show’s positioning on securing the border isn’t hard to suss out, though.
Open borders-style programming also can be seen on HBO and Netflix via recent documentaries.
“Beneath Us” hits select theaters March 6.
This cartoonish reductionism isn’t surprising since no one can make distinctions anymore and there is a preferred narrative to prop up. It seems that there is no project too woke to waste money on in Hollywood nowadays.
Why would anyone want to come to such an irredeemably racist country?
Now if they were talking about a wealthy married couple in Saudi Arabia and their Filipino house staff, there might be a story in it.
They didn’t consider the crime stats– got it backwards again.
What the hell is LatinX?
A new, all-purpose designation to reduce all brown peoples to a homogeneous group, regardless of their ethnic or cultural heritage. It’s essentially an attempt to categorize them as identical to each other, sort of like referring to Asians and white people. That’s how the Left sees them. Japanese? Chinese? Vietnamese? They’re all alike, right? Irish? Italian? Norwegian? Totally interchangeable. So, LatinX does that job. It also eliminates the need for any pesky gender recognition.
It’s not really going over very well with those communities, as they are proud of their specific heritages, but it’s the preferred shorthand for the woke to reduce individuals to cookie-cutter status.
White-hating murder porn.
Someone funds movies like this to be produced.
Who could that (((someone))) be?
