East of Salinas takes us to the heart of California’s “Steinbeck Country,” the Salinas Valley, to meet a bright boy and his dedicated teacher — both sons of migrant farm workers. With parents who are busy working long hours in the fields, third grader Jose Ansaldo often turns to his teacher, Oscar Ramos, for guidance. But Jose is undocumented; he was born in Mexico. Like many other migrant children, he is beginning to understand the situation — and the opportunities that may be lost to him through no fault of his own.
Reviews
I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
