\"\"<\/a>Variance Films has released a new trailer for John Sayles\u2019 Go For Sisters<\/strong>, which hits theaters on Nov. 8 and stars Yolonda Ross<\/strong> and LisaGay Hamilton<\/strong> as two estranged childhood friends whose lives intersect again as recovering addict and parole officer.<\/p>\n

Bernice Stokes and Fontayne Gamble grew up the closest of friends. After high school Bernice got into social services and corrections work, Fontayne just got into trouble. Twenty years later Bernice is assigned as parole officer for Fontayne\u2013 just released from prison and fighting a drug habit. But Bernice\u2019s son Rodney, has gone missing on the Mexican border, his shady partners in hiding or brutally murdered. Fontayne, through a prison girlfriend, enlists Freddy Su\u00e1rez (Olmos), a disgraced, near-blind ex-LAPD detective once known as \u2018the Terminator\u2019, to help them find Rodney. Outlaws on a noble quest, they are lured into a potentially deadly cat-and-mouse game with mysterious Chinese smugglers.<\/p>\n
