El padrino: The Latin Godfather

El padrino: The Latin Godfather (2004) is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Damian Chapa, who also stars as Manny — the undisputed drug kingpin of East Los Angeles. His teenage son Kilo sees only the money and the respect, not what it actually costs.

The film pulls together an eclectic cast: Jennifer Tilly, Faye Dunaway, Gary Busey, Stacy Keach, and Brad Dourif. Not the kind of ensemble you'd expect for a street-level story, but the film stays grounded in what happens to a family when the only ladder anyone sees runs straight through the drug trade.
