Adios Vaya Con Dios

A gritty urban thriller inspired by real events, Adios Vaya Con Dios is the authentic story of two friends within the world of Chicago's Latino street gangs. A day of reckoning approaches for Rory, a rising Irish- exican street lieutenant for the Olmecs, when his trusted life-long friend Eloy, just released from prison, dives right back into the chaotic crucible of violence and retribution that engulfs their neighborhood. Their friendship and loyalty to each other is tested to the limit. Adios Vaya Con Dios was completed through the participation of the Latino communities of Chicago, which united together in support of the film, devoting their stories and personal experiences. The film was directed by 'La Raza' meaning 'The People,' a movement of the heart, where the Chicago Latino communities united together opening their businesses, homes, streets and souls to us. Cinematically, we have seen churches come together in support of independent films resonating with their values; this is the closest comparison to the experience we had on Chicago's urban streets. Undeniably, Adios Vaya Con Dios is the first Latino film to be created by a united barrio with real locations, real people and real stories. (Indican Pictures)
