“It’s not worth it — the lure of easy money to struggling Latinos who are recruited to work in meth labs throughout the Central Valley.

That’s the message and the title of “No Vale la Pena” (”It’s Not Worth It” or “It’s Not Worth the Risk”), an anti-drug Spanish-language film with English subtitles shown free today in three debut screenings at the Fox Theater downtown.”
