El Norte
Directed by Gregory Nava
(US, Protected content , 139 min.)
Reception: 6:00 PM Film start: 7:00 PM

El Norte, a film central to the rise of Independent cinema in the US, is split into three parts, marking the journey of Central Americans to the United States. Premiering at Cannes, winner of the Grand Prix of the Montreal Film Festival, and now part of the National Registry of films, El Norte offers up a vision of the migration of people that may be forgotten today. “This is the first film to approach the subject of “undocumented workers” solely through their eyes. This is not one of those docudramas where we half-expect a test at the end, but a film like ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ that gets inside the hearts of its characters and lives with them” — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times.
