This film is an ok portrait of a Mexican family making ends meet in the US of A, balancing their Mexican culture with the new fangled American Ideas. Nothing really extraordinary, though it was interesting to see this family's customs and every day life. 2nd half, we go to city hall to complain about immigrant labor or something. The sound on this isn't spectacular, so it was a bit hard to follow.
