Cine En El Parque: Chicano Legacy Film Series at Chicano Park continues this Saturday night with BORN IN EAST L.A.??
Cheech Marin, writes, directs and stars in Born In East L.A., an outrageous comedy that's more timely than ever. The story follows Rudy (Marin), an American citizen who is mistaken for an undocumented Mexican national. As his luck goes, he is caught with neither money nor his ID and is deported to Mexico – without speaking a word of Spanish! Unable to contact his vacationing family or his newly immigrated cousin, Rudy is in for a crazy ride as he tries every legal – and illegal – scheme he can think of to get back home. He finds himself in jail, in love, and practically in-sane in this hilarious case of mistaken, or rather, misplaced, identity.
This screening will be preceded by a presentation of Lucky Strike, produced by Veronica Moreno (15 min.)
Get there early to enjoy live music, vendors, food, local short films, and more!
