This film follows hardworking single father Carlos Galindo (Demian Bichir), an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, as he embarks on a physical and spiritual journey in order to reconnect with his teenage son and keep him from getting pulled into local gang life. From director Chris Weitz (“About a Boy”), “A Better Life” is a touching, poignant, multi-generational story that critics have called “compelling,” “intelligent,” and “heartfelt.” To see a trailer from the film, please click HERE.
