A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)

Based on director Dito Montiel's youth during the mid-eighties in the tough neighbourhood of Astoria, Queens. All his old friends have ended up dead, as junkies, or in prison; Dito is the proverbial man who got out. For him, the "saints" are the folks he remembers, the ones he left behind. For better or worse, they made him who he is today. An honest account of a bittersweet return to a neighbourhood that isn't the same and never will be again.
