“The Other Barrio” Film Screening | SF Main Library

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Other Barrio follows housing inspector Roberto Morales (Richard Montoya) as he investigates the suspicious circumstances of a deadly residential hotel fire in San Francisco’s rapidly gentrifying Mission District and finds himself face-to-face with murder in the streets, corruption at City Hall and the mysterious Sofia Nido, a beautiful but dangerous flame from his past.

Adapted from a short story by San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia, this independent film noir takes viewers deep into neighborhoods and communities seldom seen on film, while addressing timely issues of gentrification and displacement in San Francisco’s low-income communities.
