Trailer: Boca Chica 

Synopsis
Spanish, English, with English subtitles

With Scarlet Camilo, Lia Chapman, Jean Cruz, Richarson Díaz

Why you must-see this film. Because it is an example of the brilliant New Wave of Dominican Cinema. It tackles an incredibly important theme and it is written by the talented team behind ‘Pelo Malo’ (Mariana Rondón, Marité Ugás). Moreover, the film won the Nora Ephron Award at the latest Tribeca Film Festival.

Beautifully juxtaposing the realities and expectations of a young girl approaching womanhood in the Dominican Republic, Boca Chica shines a light on the insidious child sex trade and the lives it seeks to destroy.
