This April, Eastern Promises is proud to present a special 20th anniversary screening of Jared Hess’s NACHO LIBRE. Just as how Iganacio can’t help but be a wrestler, we cannot help but celebrate this one of a kind film.
Ignacio, a disrespected cook at a Mexican monastery, can barely afford to feed the orphans who live there. Inspired by a local wrestling hero, he decides to moonlight as the not-so-famous Luchador “Nacho Libre” to earn money for the monastery — not to mention the admiration of beautiful nun Sister Encarnación.
Preceded by the short film MONKEY’S PAW, directed by Andrew Michalko. w/ SPECIAL LIVE WRESTLING PRE-SHOW, SPEARHEADED BY THE ONE AND ONLY TEKKITEASYYJOEY.
Doors Open 30 Minutes Before Showtime.
