"My Family is ambitious and sweeping! A generational epic like The Godfather." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Academy Award-winning director Francis Ford Coppola presents the powerful, three generation saga of the Sanchez family, as told by the eldest son (Edward James Olmos). From his father's journey to California in the 1920s, to his brother's (Esai Morales) tragic rebellion in the 1950s, to the stark realities of modern day, his family struggles to live the American dream.
With an unforgettable performance by Jimmy Smits, "My Family tells a story with so much love and passion that the characters emerge as distinctly as members of your own family." - (New York Post)

A sprawling saga spanning two generations in the lives of the Sanchez family, from the depression to the present day.
The story begins as Jimmy Sanchez, lured by the "American Dream", decides to emigrate from revolutionary Mexico to East L.A. He soon meets and marries the beautiful Maria, and together they have five children.
Years later, the Sanchez kids have grown up, and chosen to lead very disparate lives, ranging from criminal to nun. But despite the obstacles they and their offspring continue to face, Jimmy and Maria succeed in maintaining the family's unity, using their Latino heritage and roots as the foundation.
