25th Anniversary Edition: El Norte

Gregory Nava's movie about a brother and sister's journey from Guatemala to the US, El Norte, came out in 1984. The civil wars in Central America, the ensuing movement of people north to the US, and what initiated the "sanctuary movement" of the 1980's for Central American refugees and immigrants. This film helped many of us understand the lives of immigrants during that time. I think the film is work watching and would like to see it again.
