Synopsis

“The quintessential film about immigration ... thirty-five years after its debut, EL NORTE is the film of our time.” (Claudia Puig, USA TODAY/ NPR) Celebrate the 35th anniversary of this Oscar®-nominated* classic from director Gregory Nava (Selena) with an exquisite restoration by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. After their family is killed in a government massacre, brother and sister Enrique and Rosa flee Guatemala and embark on a perilous journey to "El Norte": the United States. This timeless, visually epic story of Enrique and Rosa’s courageous struggle to make a better life in the U.S. as undocumented immigrants resonates today with remarkable force and remains an unforgettable portrait of the power of the human spirit. *1984, Writing (Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen), Gregory Nava and Anna Thomas.

Although the film's Guatemalan and Mexican portions include much effective storytelling, the long American episode is the most stirring.
