In the face of a growing wave of anti-gay legislation, Oscar Garcia, one of the first LGBTQ+ Latinx activists in the American South, decides to bring back La Pakis, a powerful, but destructive drag persona from his troubled past, in an attempt to integrate her into a positive community role model.
Life for a Latinx immigrant family in the New South can be challenging and sometimes terrifying, but thankfully, there’s always a fiesta to take you through the night. ¡Fiesta! Quinceañera is a feature documentary broadcast on REEL SOUTH, based on the ITVS digital series, that weaves the lives of three Latina girls and a seasoned drag artist as they celebrate their quinceañera, a complex and colorful rite of passage.
The Making of the Nuevo South will tell the stories of the Latino immigrant experience in the American South by elevating the voices of everyday people.OTHER PROJECTS
