THE OTHER BARRIO

THE OTHER BARRIO
Reminiscent of Polanski’s ‘Chinatown’
This socially impactful film noir is based on true events, about housing inspector Roberto Morales who investigates the suspicious circumstances of a fatal fire in a residential hotel in San Francisco’s rapidly gentrifying Latino Mission District and finds himself face to face with murder in the streets, corruption at City Hall and the mysterious Sofia Nido, a beautiful but dangerous flame from his past.
This stunningly filmed and superbly directed thriller deals with a hot, current topic millions will relate to: the gentrification of low-income ethnic neighborhoods which makes the movie extremely timely. The screenplay was written by San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia.
Starring: Richard Montoya of Falling Down and Nacho Libre
The movie has just entered the festival circuit and already won Outstanding NorCal Feature at the Sacramento International Film Festival
