Born in East L.A.
A comedy bordering on insanity.
Directed by Cheech Marin
Produced by Universal Pictures, Clear Type
A high-energy comedy that mines absurdist humor from a fish-out-of-water premise about identity and belonging, grounded in warmth and optimism.
Rudy, an American of Hispanic descent, whose south-of-the-border looks show him no mercy during an immigration raid in a migrant worker factory. As his luck goes, he is caught with neither money nor his ID and is deported to Mexico - without speaking a word of Spanish!
