El Norte

I saw this in spanish class during high school. I’ll have to say that it was one damn fine movie. I have seen few movies that have this one’s element of tragedy. In case you haven’t seen it, it’s about a brother and sister who become illegal aliens – crossing the US/Mexico border (in the northerly direction). If you don’t speak spanish, it is subtitled. If you can read, it’s one of those movies that’s worth seeing even if you don’t like subtitles (and if you can’t read, then you won’t be reading this, so nevermind.). I loved the non-hollywood ending.
