El Norte DVD; A Classic Must-See for Every High School Classroom!

El Norte is a sympathetic portrayal of the trails of illegal immigrants. The film follows a brother's and sister's struggles as they leave their Guatemalan village for what they hope is a better life in El Norte." A powerful film! We have edited the DVD version after transferring it from the VHS version for language and violence to be more accessible for classroom use. We are happy to offer a 41-minute edited classroom disc along with the original uncut version on one single disc. ©1983. 41-minutes and 133 minutes. Spanish with English subtitles, includes a little Mayan. Not rated.

Disappointing

I was thrilled to find an "Edited Classroom Version" of "El norte" for use in my I.B. classes. It's a wonderful movie but, sadly, rated R and therefore not allowed by my school's policy. The description says that the video was converted from video, so the low quality wasn't a complete surprise. I had hoped that this would mean it was also converted from the made-for-T.V. version in which the F-bombs were omitted. This was not the case & the F-words were spelled out for all to read. In addition, you should be clear that the original version is only available with the English subtitles, unlike the regular DVD that is sold through other venues. That saying, as far as ratings go I firmly believe that if this movie came out today it would instead be rated PG-13. If allowed by your school, you would be able to mute much of the scenes from Mexico and a few others when you know that the cussing is coming. It can still be the foundation of some great discussions especially in light of immigration issues today.
