Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - As part of their "Every Tuesday Night Film" series, the Costa Banderas Chapter of Democrats Abroad presents the 2012's Mariachi Gringo on December 17th, at 7 pm at the Paradise Community Center.

Mariachi Gringo

A stifled, small-town man stuck in a dead end life, chases his dreams of becoming a Mariachi singer to Guadalajara, Mexico. While there he meets a pretty waitress who becomes his south-of-the-border muse. Mariachi Gringo is a musical tour-de-force exploring the reality of "following your dreams" across cultural, personal, social, and geographical borders.

The film stars Shawn Ashmore, Martha Higareda, and Kate Burton, and is directed by Tom Gustafson. Mariachi Gringo won the "Best Mexican Picture" award at the 2012 Guadalajara Film Festival.

Gates open at 6:00 pm and all films begin at 7:00 pm.
