Film and Discussion: El Norte

Past event
May 26, 2023, 7:30 to 9 PM

Hi Neighbors,

You are welcome to join us at the Friends Meeting House for our monthly film, El Norte.

After their family is killed in a government massacre, siblings Enrique and Rosa flee Guatemala and embark on a perilous journey to "El Norte": the United States.

They were undocumented immigrants, but then as now, the California economy could not function without their invisible presence as cheap labor. "El Norte" (1983) tells their story with astonishing visual beauty, with unashamed melodrama, with anger leavened by hope. It is a "Grapes of Wrath" for our time.
