Latinas in Film - Mosquita Y Mari

In this episode we will be discussing the 2012 film Mosquita y Mari written and directed by Aurora Guerrero. Apart from unpacking the movie and its themes, we will look at how founding Chicana feminism can offer a frame to critically engage with it.

As part of our discussion we will be taking a look at current Latinx debates that are connected to the show including queer Latinas, LGBTQIA+ Latinas and religion, and machismo.

Finally, we’ll wrap up with a few recommendations of other Latinx films that highlight female characters.
