Join ANSWER Coalition for ?Romantico? a film about the struggle of immigrants in the United States.

By day, mariachi musician Carmelo Mu?iz washes cars, but at night, he and his friend Arturo perform norte?o and ranchero music for tips in the taquerias and bars of San Francisco\'s Mission District. Carmelo\'s meager living belies the deep roots and binding ties he has to his native Mexico. His wife, two young daughters, and gravely ill mother rely on the money Carmelo sends to them in the little town of Salvatierra. When Carmelo returns to the life and loved ones he left behind south of the border, he resumes the struggle against poverty that he sought to escape in \"el Norte.\" 

?Romantico? is a moving portrait of the love, pride and struggle connecting one life with two countries. 

Plus: update on the immigrant rights struggle in the U.S. -10 donation requested.
