    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “La Cocina”, showing Nov. 15-21 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

    Amidst the lunch rush of a bustling Times Square restaurant, a series of events threaten to bring the kitchen to a crashing halt in “La Cocina”.

    In the heart of the kitchen, dreams and desperation collide as the back-of-house staff each chase the elusive American dream. When money goes missing from the till, the spotlight falls on Pedro (Raúl Briones), a passionate dreamer entangled in a tumultuous love affair with Julia (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara), a waitress grappling with her own commitments.

    As tensions rise and shocking revelations unfold, the relentless pace of the kitchen threatens to shatter the hopes and aspirations of those who keep it running.

    It’s a high-stakes drama that explores the intersection of the personal ambition and systemic exploitation of undocumented immigrant workers within the pressure-cooker environment of a Times Square New York restaurant.

    From Protest Signs to Missiles: Why Peace Needs Teeth
    .By Tommy Acosta

    As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
