DESCRIPTION:Hailed as "the first epic" of the independent American cinema\,
  the film focuses on two young Mayan Indians -- sister Rosa (Zaide Silvia G
 utiérrez) and brother Enrique (David Villalpando) -- whose lives are shatte
 red by the Guatemalan civil war. As one says to the other\, "The past is go
 ne forever ... you're my whole family now." They flee to Mexico with the ul
 timate goal of crossing into the United States -- "El Norte" -- where they 
 hope for a new\, secure life.\n\nThe film aspired to put a face on the "inv
 isible people\," the shadow population of undocumented aliens that had beco
 me a key\, though rarely acknowledged\, element of the American economy -- 
 and if anything\, the movie's relevance has grown more urgent over the ensu
 ing quarter-century.\n\nIn Spanish with English subtitles.
