“East of Salinas”
A History of Immigration, Childhood
and Circumstance
East of Salinas is the story of a bright boy and
his dedicated teacher. With parents who are
busy working long hours in the fields, third
grader José Ansaldo often turns to his teacher,
Oscar Ramos, for guidance. But José was born
in Mexico. And he’s on the cusp of
understanding what that means for his future.
The film poses the question: What is lost when
promising kids are denied opportunities through
no fault of their own? Produced and directed by
Laura Pacheco and Jackie Mow, East of Salinas
premiered on Independent Lens.
