This funny and inspiring family film tells the story of “El Zurdo,” a left handed boy in an urban housing complex who has mad skills at marbles. When a rival marbleslinger enters the picture and upsets the peace in the barrio, El Zurdo is challenged to a duel. The ensuing showdown and a corrupt official’s attempts to sabotage El Zurdo’s mojo are the stuff of legend. Imagine Shane with marbles. Starring Alex Perea, Guillermo Gil and Arcelia Ramirez (Sexo, Pudor y Lagrimas, Cilantro y Perejil).

A fun film for the whole family.
