Pancho Goes To College Rubén Reyes USA, Comedy, 2007 104 min., MiniDV, Color English Metropolitan 11 Sunday, April 22, 8 PM Mature Audiences

Pancho is looking forward to his new life in college, away from the barrio, his culture, and his way of life. But then he meets his zany new roommates, and together they experience girls, parties, study time, and multiculturalism on a large Arizona college campus. Can Pancho adapt? Will he survive away from home? Shot entirely in Southern Arizona, Pancho Goes To College is a comedy feast for the eyes and ears. Scenic desert landscapes, crazy college parties, class lectures, rowdy Chicano bars, and an eclectic rock-norteno-hip hop soundtrack are among the elements that drive this fast-paced coming-of-age comedy.

Rubén Reyes was born in Mexico and grew up in southern Arizona. As a migrant farm worker, Rubén traveled frequently between Arizona and Northern California.
