Ambulante, the Mexican itinerant not-for-profit documentary film festival, founded by actors Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal and producer Pablo Cruz, is crossing the border into Southern California.

Aimed at using documentaries to “promote social change and cultural transformation,” Ambulante and its subsidiary Ambulante Global have for the last dozen years brought documentary film screenings and related events to cities across Mexico, and around the world, where quality documentaries are rarely screened in theaters.

Now a spinoff series, Ambulante California, is scheduled to begin touring metropolitan L.A. starting Sept. 21 and continuing through Oct. 4, 2014.
