Amazing story and acting especially Kuno(re:NY INT. LATINO FILM FEST.2006, 26 October 2006

Author: Claude Laniado from NY, NY

I had the pleasure to see it at the NY INT. LATINO FILM FESTIVAL 2006.I thought the story,acting ,directing and cinematography was definitely quality oriented. The problems of immigration are well depicted in this movie which helps raise awareness of the great need for reform of our immigration laws. Although independent and not from a major studio, it has great market value in our current political US state of affairs concerning immigration.Besides that ,KUNO alone is enough to want to see it in the theaters and later in DVD format....Kuno is on his way up...

This movie is definitely worth seeing!

I am looking forward to seeing more independent films of this caliber from the director and producers.
