No Data Plan + Q&A
Institute of Contemporary Arts
No Data Plan, Dir. Miko Revereza. USA 2019, 70 min.


‘Mama has two phone numbers. We do not talk about immigration on her Obama phone. For that we use the other number with no data plan.’

In this accomplished first feature, undocumented filmmaker Miko Revereza documents a train journey he took across America last year. Utilising a potent mix of discreet recordings, sound design, on-screen subtitles and Instagram stories, the film reflects its maker’s lived experience, but also that of the millions of other marginalised people whose every movement is similarly imperilled. An observational study and politically charged personal documentary, No Data Plan is a travelogue of an altogether different kind.
