The Granada to Screen NOSOTROS LOS POBRES

The Granada Theatre is pleased to present the next screening in the Época De Oro film series, Nosotros los Pobres, one of the most popular films of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. On Sunday, March 20 at 3:00 pm, the community is invited to experience this 1948 Mexican drama on The Granada Theatre's state-of-the-art, 4K digital cinema system. The film will be screened in Spanish with English sub-titles.

Directed by Ismael Rodriguez, Nosotros los Pobres tells the story of a poor neighborhood in Mexico City and the unforgettable characters that reside there. The film stars Pedro Infante as a carpenter whose entire family must work together to clear his name after he is charged with a murder. Nosotros los Pobres gives a unique look into this distinctive era of filmmaking from one of the best storytellers of Mexican cinema.

The Época De Oro film series was created to showcase the historical film culture of Mexico and to present important films from "Golden Age" period to a wide range of audiences. This new Jurkowitz Center for Community Engagement initiative was a group curatorial effort, with the series' selections made bya committee of professional and academic thought-leaders in the Santa Barbara area and beyond. The series is moderated by Monique Limon who will speak on stage with a film expert or star prior to the screening of the film.
