I CARRY YOU WITH ME

Screens all week: Friday, July 16 – Thursday, July 22, 2021 @ 7:30PM (except Sunday @ 2:30PM) – Cinestudio

The first feature film by documentarian Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp) is based on the true-life journey of a Mexican chef who travels to America, though it takes him away from the man who won his heart. The film opens as Iván Garcia (Armando Espitia) is a young man in homophobic Puebla, cleaning tables and dreaming of culinary greatness. Falling head over heels for a grad student named Gerardo (Christian Vazquez), Garcia agonizes over crossing the border to follow his dream in NYC, even if it means never seeing Gerardo – or his family – again. A moving portrait of the immigrant experience, with the ethereally beautiful cinematography of Pablo Ramírez.
