I rarely get this excited for a documentary, but Circo looks absolutely wonderful. The film follows the trials and tribulations of the Ponce family circus that has been in operation in Mexico for a hundred years. Circus ringmaster Tino has dreams of making the circus successful and popular again, but rising debts and family conflicts stand in his way. Being a life long lover of the circus, this flick already has my attention. When it releases in NYC on April 1st, you better believe I’ll wait until it comes to LA to see it. Check out the First Run Features website to see when Circo comes to your neck of the woods.
