Join us for Gregory Nava's classic film about two young Guatemalans and their harrowing trek north through Mexico to reach the United States. This program is part of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Brother and sister Enrique and Rosa flee persecution at home in Guatemala and journey north, through Mexico and on to the United States, with the dream of starting a new life. It is a story that happens every day, but until Gregory Nava's groundbreaking El Norte (The North), the personal travails of immigrants crossing the border to America had never been shown in the movies with such urgent humanism. A work of social realism imbued with dreamlike imagery, El Norte is a lovingly rendered, heartbreaking story of hope and survival, which critic Roger Ebert called, "a Grapes of Wrath for our time."
The film is in Spanish and will have English subtitles turned on.
