In a narrative that feels as current as today’s news about fires, evictions, and street demonstrations, “Another Barrio” follows housing inspector Bob Morales as he delves into the dubious details surrounding a deadly blaze. While examining a residential hotel in San Francisco’s Latino Mission District, Morales encounters corruption within City Hall and crosses paths with Sofia Nido, a captivating figure from his past. As he probes deeper into the crime, Morales must face his own inner struggles and becomes ensnared in a perilous web of lies, entangled in a world rife with bribery, corruption, and murder. This independent Neo-noir film, inspired by a story from San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia, immerses audiences in rarely depicted neighborhoods and communities, while exploring themes of gentrification and the displacement of low-income residents.
