As if ripped from todays headlines reporting fires, evictions and street protests, The Other Barrio tells the story of housing inspector Bob Morales as he investigates the suspicious circumstances of a fatal fire in a residential hotel in San Franciscos Latino Mission District and finds himself face to face with corruption at City Hall and the mysterious Sofia Nido, a beautiful flame from his past. This independent Neo-noir feature film, based on a story by San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia, takes viewers deep into neighborhoods and communities seldom seen on film, while addressing issues around gentrification and displacement of low-income communities along the way.
