[edit] Removal of Interview

The length of the interview seemed to violate copyright, so I removed it. If anyone can be sure it doesn't, please revert. --Impaciente 01:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Not a problem, I shortened it today and only quoted two sentences. Luigibob 13:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fiction

My Spanish teacher recently showed us this film, and made it out to be a biography. Are these real people? It doesn't seem like it from the article. EgyptianSushi 03:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi ESushi. No, the characters in the film are not real people. The story is fiction. As in the article Nava wrote the story by interviewing many Guatemalans who live in Los Angeles right around the time they were fleeing Guatemala due to political/ethnic persecution. There is a New York Times reference on that (#5). Read some of the exterior links for more info. BestLuigibob 13:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Heh, I asked her today in class if she said it was autobiographical, and she said it was, and I told her it wasn't. And she didn't believe me and stated that she saw the guy (the character) on some talk show. She then ranted for 25 minutes about the falsities of the internet. EgyptianSushi 18:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
