Some Girls

A Journey of Self Discovery for Latina Girls

This feature documentary follows a group of troubled Latina teens from a Bronx-based suicide prevention program who are transformed by an exploration of their roots via the use of ancestral DNA testing, followed by a trip to the Dominican Republic.

On that journey, the white supremacist narratives about American history they've been taught are challenged, leaving them free to reconstruct their own respective identities. What does it really mean to be American? And, more importantly, what does that look like?

"This powerful documentary offers a much-needed look into Latina identity, depression and self-harm" - Latina Magazine
