ABOUT

By Natalia Almada

An aspiring corrido composer from Sinaloa, Mexico, faces two choices to better his life: traffic drugs or cross the border and search for work in the United States.

From the remote coast of Mexico to South Central L.A., Al Otro Lado explores the conflicts around drug smuggling, immigration, and the corrido music that chronicles it all.

Jon Pareles writes in The New York Times:
"The documentary is handsomely filmed, whether in sun-drenched landscapes or crowded nightclubs. Itís not a history of corridos, which have roots that reach back to medieval songs; itís a glimpse of art running parallel to daily life."

Variety writes:
"A lyrical and beautiful account of border culture... humane, visually exquisite and resists simple descriptions..."
