Are you sure, you want to add La mission
to your wish list?
Storyline:
Growing up in the Mission district of San Francisco, Che Rivera (Benjamin Bratt) has always had to be tough to survive. He's a powerful man respected throughout the Mission barrio for his masculinity and his strength, as well as for his hobby building beautiful lowrider cars. A reformed inmate and recovering alcoholic, Che has worked hard to redeem his life and do right by his pride and joy: his only son, Jes, whom he has raised on his own after the death of his wife. Che's path to redemption is tested, however, when he discovers Jes is gay. To survive his neighborhood, Che has always lived with his fists. To survive as a complete man, he'll have to embrace a side of himself he's never shown.

A touching and important film

First I want to thank the screenwriters for a dead-on portrayal that LGBT youth experience. No one wants to disappoint their parents at any time. This story line transcends cultural and ethnic lines as youth and parent contend with their conflicts and to some extent resolutions. How do we deal with this issue of homosexuality in and out of the family unit. It (the issue of homosexuality) is almost always an issue of family violence, mistrust, and banishment. I wish that parents view this film as a learning tool, and learn to love their children without condition.

Okay, so I'm not Latina BUT I did grow up in La Mission during the mid-80's and attended Mission High School. This movie was truly a powerful picture. I got a little choked up seeing my old stomping grounds, alma mater, and familiar businesses (La Palma..the BEST nacatamales out there). Ben Bratt was amazing in this film, and his character unflinching. The storyline is current, raw, and touching. I love seeing all the lowriders and the casting PERFECT as each character seemed very real. Che's homies in the movie seem like homies I would have hung with back in the day. Excellent choice of music in the movie, and it is a movie that simply stays with you long after it's over. FINALLY, a real movie about The Mission district which captures the beauty, culture, essence of a unique section of SF. If you would've told me back in my cholita days (ahem, okso I was a wannabe) that a movie would be made in 20 years where lowriders are running on vegetable oil I would have said "Chale!", eh!

Moving and surprisingly more complex than expected - touches on almost every touchy subject out there!
