- A noir crime buster. As if ripped from today's headlines reporting fires, eviction and protests in the streets, the film follows housing inspector Roberto Morales as he investigates the suspicious circumstances of a fatal fire in a residential hotel in San Francisco's Latino Mission District and finds himself face-to-face with murder in the streets, corruption at City Hall and the mysterious Sofia Nido, a dangerous flame from his past. Adapted from a short story by San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia and set against the current epidemic of evictions and gentrification, The Other Barrio is a fictionalized account of true events. This is San Francisco Noir at its best. A tale of murder, corruption, justice and greed. A truly complicated border war.
