The film explores the immigrant experience of loneliness, displacement and economic hardship in a series of four stories: a group of day laborers hired to clean bricks find themselves abandoned when tragedy strikes; a young man newly arrived from Mexico falls in love with a girl from his home village, only to lose her in the new and alien urban landscape; a puppeteer, living with his daughter in a station wagon, dreams that she\u2019ll one day learn to read; and a seamstress, desperate to send money home to her sick daughter, is forced to finally confront the injustice in the sweatshop where she labors. A strikingly authentic drama, La Ciudad was filmed over the course of six years with a cast of mostly non-professional actors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-Fb4kaQRbAk\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- adman_adcode_after --><\/p>\n<p class=\"dpsp-share-text\">Sharing is caring!<\/p>\n<p class=\"gasd_author\"><a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/about-me\" rel=\"author\" title=\"Profile for Dalelorenzo Johnson\">Profile for Dalelorenzo Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\"><span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in <a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/category\/categorized\/home-business\" rel=\"category tag\">Home Business<\/a><\/span>\t<\/footer>\n<p><!-- .entry-footer --><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/la-ciudad\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Ciudad (The City), David Riker\u2019s critically acclaimed 1998 debut feature, is a moving tribute to the struggles and hopes of Latin American immigrants in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-172696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172696\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
