The New York University Center for Global Affairs will air a screening of the 1983 U.S. motion picture “El Norte.” Directed by Gregory Nava and compared by Roger Ebert to the “Grapes of Wrath”, the film shows the experiences faced by a Guatemalan sister and brother who yearn for the “American Dream” but instead face countless obstacles in their journey across the border into California. “El Norte” is the first of several movies that will be shown this fall as part of the Center’s “Politics and Art in Cinema” film series and will include a brief discussion with the consulting editor of Cineaste film magazine.
