“The low-budget, Sundance award-winning film “Quinceanera” may teach Americans more about Latino life in the United States than any other movie — and they will have two white men who don’t speak Spanish to thank.

The film, written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, opens on Friday in the midst of a heated national debate about the tide of immigrants from Latin America and their influence in the United States.

The timing, they say, is just a coincidence. But since the $500,000 production won the top drama and audience awards at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the Latino immigrant issue has become even more of a divisive, political hot potato in this election year.”
