Go For Sisters
(2013) Directed by John Sayles
April 4 - Friday - 6:30 p.m.
Bernice and Fontayne grew up so close that people said they could "go for sisters," but time sent them
down different paths. Twenty years later, those paths cross: Fontayne is a recovering addict fresh out of jail,
and Bernice is her new parole officer. When Bernice's son goes missing on the Mexican border, she and
Fontayne enlist the services of disgraced ex-LAPD detective (Edward James Olmos) and plunge into the dim
underbelly of Tijuana, forced to unravel a complex web of human traffickers, smugglers, and corrupt cops to
save Bernice's son.
Edward James Olmos is scheduled to be present. (2K DCP. 123 min. Not Rated.)
