...And the Earth Did Not Swallow Him
1995·1h 39m
Directed by Severo Perez
With Jose Alcala, Rose Portillo, Art Bonilla, Marco Rodríguez and Lupe Ontiveros
Drama
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.
