Churubusco

Churubusco is the story of Gaetano Rizzo, an Italian immigrant, son of farmers who enlists in the Union army to fight in the American-Mexican war (1847) hoping that military service will grant him a piece of land to own. In this scenario carved on hostile landscapes, populated by immoral men craving personal glory, and xenophobic fanatics, Rizzo decides to defect. Whether to join the Mexicans or go his own way, that will be that hardest choice for him. (Sedona International Film Festival)
