...And the Earth Did Not Swallow Him Trailers

Twelve-year-old Mexican-American Marcos (Jose Alcala) recalls the hardships of the previous year, reflecting on the arduous trek his migrant-worker family made from Texas to the Midwest during harvest season. Along the way, Marcos learns plenty about the harsh realities of bigotry and the power of family in America of the 1950s. The coming-of-age Chicano drama is based on Tomas Rivera's semiautobiographical 1971 novella.

Reviews
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
