[EMA&ALMA] Anderson International Film Festival

Film: A Better Life
Set largely in East Los Angeles, "A Better Life" involves a struggle to hold onto a home of one's own. For Luis and his own father, a gardener, Carlos (Demian Bichir), that means the United States, though home is also the relationship between father and son. A single father, Carlos worries about his son but is so wrung out by dawn-to-dusk labors, rising with bird songs and jackhammers, he barely seems to know him. When offered a chance to buy a truck, he sees it as a path to the promised life of the title. This story reflects the experiences young people like Luis and his immigrant parents go through every day. It is something known all too well to many of our Anderson colleagues.
