Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTalisa Soto, who plays Ana, and Benjamin Bratt, who plays Che, are married in real life. They met on the set of Blood In, Blood Out (1993) where Rene, played by Jesse Borrego, stars alongside Benjamin Bratt.
- GoofsThe memorial in Che's garage indicates his wife died in 1985. The banners in the graduation scene read "La Mission High School Class of 2009". Since it is very clear Jes was a model student, it is doubtful he would be graduating high school at the age of 24 or higher.
- Quotes
Che Rivera: Stay brown.
Kenny: Can't do nothin' but.

Featured review
This is a fantastic film.
Benjamin Bratt gives his heart and soul in this performance as Che Riveria and Erika Alexander is stunning as Lena.
This film is rich with the colors, energy and music of the Mission district of San Francisco.
Writer/director Peter Bratt lets us into the world of a man defined by his culture. A culture that gives him a second chance at life and rewards masculinity and strength will also prove to be his downfall.
This father/son story is heartfelt. Che Riveria is a tough man but will need to dig deep to find the courage needed to prove he is worthy in the eyes of his son.
