A Better Life, (2011) directed by Chris Weitz, makes "invisible people" visible. Carlos Galindo, an undocumented immigrant, works hard, all day long in the hot sun as a gardener in Los Angeles. His son, Luis is stuck in a prison-like school. The relationship between the father and son is tense and their worlds far apart. But when Carlos's new truck, his ticket to steady and better work, is stolen, Luis hits the streets with him, determined to track it down and to get it back. Damian Bechir, who plays Carlos, gives a remarkable performance and was nominated for an Oscar for best performance by an actor in a leading role.
