Writer/Director David Riker and star Abbie Cornish will do a Q&A following the 8:00 pm show on March 15.
More than ten years after his acclaimed debut film LA CIUDAD (THE CITY) -- about the lives of Latin American immigrants in New York City -- director David Riker travels to the border for his long-awaited follow-up, THE GIRL. Abbie Cornish stars as a working class south Texan who seeks to escape the quicksand of her life by smuggling immigrants across the border. When the attempted crossing ends in tragedy, she finds herself stranded with a young girl who lost her mother in the river crossing. Harrowing, moving, and ultimately hopeful, THE GIRL invites us to look at the border through a new lens, turning the central myth of the border upside down -- that hope flows north.
