A BETTER LIFE – First-Fri. FREE Film at the Peace Center of Delaware County

Friday, October 7th, 2016, 7 p.m.

A film that Trump and such would not want you to see! A poignant,
multi-generational story drawn from the everyday lives and struggles of
undocumented workers to make something better for their children.

A Better Life
(2011, PG-13 for some violence, language, and brief drug use, 1 hour 38 minutes, Directed by Chris Weitz, stars Demian Bichir.)

Carlos is an undocumented Mexican immigrant, a gardener tending the landscapes of Los Angeles residents who are rich, from his point of view. Carlos lives from hand to mouth, day to day, in a tiny house with a garden used to raise starter plants for his clients.

His wife left years before, and he’s raising his 15-year-old son, Luis, by himself, desperately trying to keep him from the lure of drugs and gangs.

“A Better Life might not change any minds about immigration policy”, writes Ann Hornaday, film critic for the Washington Post, “but it illuminates the conversation with context, compassion, and understanding.”
