About this movie
Illegal immigrant and hardworking single dad Carlos Galindo (Demian Bichir) embarks on a physical and spiritual journey in order to reconnect with his teenage son and keep him from getting pulled into the local gang life. From director Chris Weitz (About a Boy), A Better Life is a touching & poignant story that critics call "compelling," "intelligent" & "heartfelt."

Deep movie shows how Mexicans didn't come here to steal nor to rape just to have a better life for them and for there kids. Highly recommend

I watched this recently, & absolutely fell in love. Simply because its true when it comes to deportation, people know about it. & kind of see what goes on, but they don't see that it can actually tear a family. But can pick itself back it. Definitely worth watching!

Demian Bichir* un gran actor...muy buena película 100% recomendado un buen mensaje para los adolescentes que no valoran todo el sacrificio que hacen sus padres para sacarlos adelante para que tengan un mejor futuro.
