Spoken Word

Description

Kuno Becker (Goal! The Dream Begins), Rub‚n Blades (Secuestro express, Once Upon a Time in Mexico), and Miguel Sandoval (Blow, Collateral Damage) star in this heartwarming story about self-discovery and familial love. A San Francisco spoken word artist returns to New Mexico to be with his dying father, only to find he loses his "voice" as he is sucked back in to the dysfunctional life of drugs and violence he left behind. A rare authentic portrait of Latino culture in the southwest, director Victor Nu¤ez (Ulee's Gold) tells a nuanced tale of an evolving father-and-son, and how cultural roles can melt away when families move beyond words and share the language of their hearts.
