The fight of his life wasn’t in the ring. Ex-fighter Raymundo forms an unlikely bond with a disgruntled man whose life and relationship with his daughter are unraveling. The men join forces to win a fight that could very well save Raymundo, his wife, and their child.
The Broken English production of “7th and Union” is the second feature film from director Anthony Nardolillo. Starring Omar Chaparro, the boxing drama tells the story of an unlikely friendship, a broken promise, and two men using their old passions to provide a brighter future for their family. The cast also includes Felipe Esparza, Edy Ganem, Gregg Daniel and Oscar Torre.
“It’s a story about strength and family values— the struggle of a Mexican who comes to the U.S. to try to survive and to feed his family,” Chaparro told Variety. “He’s a retired boxer, but he realized that, as the slogan in the movie goes, his main fight wasn’t in the ring, it was in real life.”
“What a lot of Mexicans and Latin people who struggle, not only in the ring, in life, and a lot of people have not only one job—they have two or three jobs to feed their family. So, I think a lot of people are going to see [themselves] reflected in this film about love, passion, fighting,” Chaparro added.
100 percent of the proceeds from the exclusive screening of «7th & Union» (Union y Lucha) goes directly to Casa ABBA in Celaya. Your donation will have a high impact and save heartache and lives.
