Movie: Cristo Rey
Keep me posted also. I've been trying to find this movie. Everyone on the street says they have it but they don't.
It's currently showing on HBO Latino, in Spanish.
I didn't see any English subtitles when I saw it on HBO last week, but I wasn't looking for any either.

It's available on HBO On Demand until midnight tonight. If you access it through HBO GO on computer, you can choose Spanish or English.
PS. We watched it in Spanish - I hear the 'English' version is Spanish too, just with subtitles.
