	El Norte (The North) (1983/2000): Zaide Silvia Gutierrez, David Villalpando, Ernesto Gomez Cruz, Alicia Del Lago - ...
		El Norte (The North) tells the story of Enrique (David Villalpando) and Rosa (Zaide Silvia Gutierrez), Guatemalan siblings fleeing their homeland for the safety and promise of the United States, after their father (Ernesto Gomez Cruz) is murdered and their mother (Alicia Del Lago) vanishes, both at the hands of the ruling military regime.
		El Norte's rerelease is timely not only because the Guatemalan civil war finally ended last December, after 36 years, but also because the U.S. market is hot, it seems, for all things Latin.
		It is significant, I think, that seventeen years after El Norte was made, the issues it tackles, the circumstances the protagonists endure, are still recognizable in the U.S. to the point of seeming virtually unchanged.

	SPANISH 9: Writing and Speaking: A Cultural Approach
		The independent film El Norte (1983) was the first U.S. feature in the 1980s to portray believable and well-rounded Latin American characters attempting to take charge of their own troubled lives.
		The original screenplay for El Norte was written by Nava and Anna Thomas, who received an Academy Award nomination for their efforts.
		Nava's stylistic approaches in My Family are conventional, but, as he did in El Norte, the director succeeds in eliciting strong, realistic performances from his actors and in creating a powerful drama that is appealing both for its social conscience and the sensitivity with which the individual characters are portrayed.

	Movie Review - El Norte - eFilmCritic
		Calling El Norte one of the great movies may seem like a bold statement, but the film sticks vividly in the memory, in the way that only great films do.
		Because “El Norte” was a low-budget film that doesn’t try to show off its technical chops is one of the reasons I think it isn’t mentioned as much as it should be, although it was placed on the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1995.
		The second, “El Coyote,” tells of their adventures in Mexico and their quest to cross the border.

	El Norte - Zaide Silvia Gutierrez, David Villalpando 1983
		Gregory Nava's drama, "El Norte," is hands-down the best film ever made about the Latin American immigrant experience in the US.
		With El Norte, the spectators of that time, became aware, in slambang, of a reality that have been communicated to them mostly through the press, but wich they had never confronted in such hard and frontal manner.
		Fifteen years had gone by since the time we made this film, and unfortunately, the story that has been told in El Norte, will have to be told for a long time.

		I believe his love for the movies springs from those around him, offering the perfect environment to create films and movie images that so many Latinos can embrace and cherish, and in the end, love.
		Greg’s love for the movies and his gente was nurtured during his childhood in San Diego by his parents Betty and Rudy, and his brother John (the accomplished artist and sculptor).

		Leonard Maltin in his 2002 Movie and Video Guide calls it “compassionate” and “unforgettable.” If he had called the film “great” he would still be on the mark.

	The Stranger - Film - Feature - The Story of Our Age
		GREGORY NAVA'S rough 1983 masterpiece El Norte (The North) is simple as a fable and universal as a myth.
		Though El Norte appeared on PBS and Showtime subsequent to its first theatrical run, the film has never been marketed to Latino theaters, so this re-release may be the first time that many of the people whom the film is about get a chance to see it.
		Though he sees his upcoming series as a continuation of some of the stories in El Norte, Nava acknowledges that sooner or later, he will be making another film about his home, the border, and the transformational experience of the millions who move through it.

		A Spanish-language American film produced independently in association with the PBS TV series "American Playhouse," EL NORTE is an effective and moving drama about the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive.
		EL NORTE's style alternates between straightforward, almost documentary-like exposition and surreal sequences that take place in the characters' dreams.
		The film has a political message, but it is a subtle and compelling one that allows situations and characters to speak for themselves.

	Sacred Ordinary: Movie - My Family "Mi Familia"
		They had it in the new movie section so I was surprised to see that it had been released so long ago--and that I had never even heard of it even though it was starring Jimmy Smits (sigh!) and Edward James Olmos--and Jennifer Lopez as the young wife and mother.
		It reminded me of a book (and later movie) I read so very long ago called "Children of Sanchez," though My Family was set in Los Angeles and spans 60 years from 1920 to the present.
		This movie had flaws, but I loved it--and I especially loved it because I was born in Los Angeles, two of my brothers-in-law were Mexican (they are dead now), I have many Mexican friends, and two of my grandkids are half Mexican.

		At the same time, there exists a metaphysical concept of the border, as perceived by Latinos, in which a slow deterioration or break down of identify, a loss of memory or cultural amnesia, as well as an existential desire to fit into the Anglo culture, are part of Hispanic’s everyday life.
		According to Dennis West, "El Norte was the first U.S. feature in the 1980s to portray believable and well-rounded Latin American characters attempting to take charge of their own troubled lives in the United States" ("Filming").
		Indeed, nobody has set roots in Tijuana because it is nobody’s final destination; it is the launching pad for crossing to El Norte, to manicured lawns and dreams of prosperity, as they are portrayed in the film.

	kkyx.com: Event Guide Movie reviews, production notes, and more! - "Real Women Have Curves"
		America Ferrera and Lupe Ontiveros, stars of the lusty, extremely likable little movie "Real Women Have Curves," are a pair of full-figured Latina actresses who wear their zaftig contours with pride and zest.
		So is the movie, made by Latina filmmakers Patricia Cardoso (the director) and Josefina Lopez (the original playwright and co-screenwriter), which was a huge favorite at the Sundance, Toronto, New York and Chicago film festivals.
		But the movie doesn't view its characters with condescension, and it doesn't turn them into polemic-ridden stick figures spouting slogans and enacting cliched parables of political/sexual empowerment.

		Family themes have been on his mind ever since he caught Hollywood's attention with his low-budget "El Norte" in 1983.
		The movie, which earned Nava and his then-wife, Anna Thomas, an Oscar nomination for original screenplay, was about a Guatemalan brother and sister who immigrate illegally to the United States and take menial jobs.
		"One of the problems with the low profile of Latinos on TV and in movies is that the powers-that-be equate Latino with Spanish-speaking," said Marie, a third-generation Mexican-American and Angeleno in her 30s.

	Expert Report of Albert M. Camarillo
		The migration of Puerto Ricans from the island to the mainland began in earnest during the 1920s and 1930s, as American sugar cane companies invested heavily in the island economy and contributed to the breakup of subsistence farming carried out by rural islanders.
		In adjusting to life in the U.S., Mexican immigrants organized hundreds of new mutual aid organizations to meet their needs for sickness and death benefits and, in a broader context, to recreate their social networks in a new environment.
		Although civil rights advocacy of Mexican Americans was something articulated by community leaders and spokespersons since the mid-nineteenth century, the first formal organizations to include protection of civil rights in their agendas were products of the early twentieth century.
