Once upon a time, there were no spicy snacks on most grocery store shelves in this country. That all changed in the late 1980s. In her feature directorial debut, Eva Longoria brings us the uplifting story of Richard Montañez, a Frito Lay janitor whose creativity and sheer force of will allowed him to realize his ambitions and invent Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. That claim is now disputed, but this biopic is an undeniable celebration of Mexican-American culture—and a tribute to the enduring power of the American Dream. Jesse Garcia, a star of the Sundance-winning film Quinceañera, leads a cast that also includes Tony Shalhoub and Dennis Haysbert.

Tickets for these screenings are general admission, and pay-what-you-can.
