Tonight the 14th LAIFF commences with the opening night film, Hermano. Directed by Marcel Rasquin, Hermano tells the story of two poor young Venezuelan brothers caught between the crossroads of life, duty and the game of soccer. Screening at the Mann Chinese 6 in Hollywood, the opening gala follows at The Highlands.
