Written by Karen Zacarias
based on the book by Luis Alberto Urrea
Directed by Gary Graves

INTO THE BEAUTIFUL NORTH is based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize finalist Luis Alberto Urrea, and inspired by the classic Hollywood western "The Magnificent Seven"(which was itself inspired by Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai").

Young Nayeli leaves her home in a sleepy little seaside town in Sinaloa, Mexico, with her two best friends. They are determined to go north, on a bold quest, across the border, to bring back seven Magnificent Mexican Men to defend their town from drug dealers and corrupt policemen.

The epic journey takes the small band of intrepid adventurers from Mexico, north to San Diego, and finally, of all places, to Kankakee, Illinois. Along the way, they meet a remarkable array of odd characters in a poignant odyssey full of beauty, humor, and bizarre encountersa joyful, timely tale of one irresistible young womans quest to define herself without borders.
