Kansas City, MO – The Latin American Film Festival of Kansas City is featuring movies about migration and family ties. This year?s films are from Cuba, Colombia, Spain, Mexico and the United States. The festival?s organizers made a point of choosing movies that are appropriate for all ages. This Saturday?s film is a Mexican production called Al Otro Lado or To the Other Side. It tells three stories of children whose fathers have moved to other countries; one takes place in Mexico, the next Cuba and the third is set in Morocco.
