这是一部独立的新派黑色电影。根据著名文人Alejandro Murguia的作品改编。电影带领观众深入常人不熟悉的街区，通过拉丁裔酒店火灾事件的探寻，发掘街区中掩藏的腐败与堕落，同时揭露中产阶级与贫困群体的彷徨。

As if ripped from today's headlines reporting fires, evictions and street protests, 'The Other Barrio' tells the story of housing inspector Bob Morales as he investigates the suspicious circumstances of a fatal fire in a residential hotel in San Francisco's Latino Mission District and finds himself face to face with corruption at City Hall and the mysterious Sofia Nido, a beautiful flame from his past. This independent Neo-noir feature film, based on a story by San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia, takes viewers deep into neighborhoods and communities seldom seen on film, while addressing issues around gentrification and displacement of low-income communities along the way.
