Major indie film festival Sundance has several Latin American and Latino films in the lineup. Here's a couple highlights:
Dolores, USA
This doc chronicles the life of activist Dolores Huerta as she bucks 1950s gender conventions by co-founding the country’s first farmworkers’ union. Wrestling with raising 11 children, gender bias, union defeat and victory, and nearly dying after a San Francisco Police beating, Dolores emerges with a vision that connects her newfound feminism with racial and class justice.
Vida de Familia (Family Life), Chile
While housesitting for a distant cousin, a lonely man fabricates the existence of a vindictive ex-wife withholding his daughter in order to gain the sympathy of the single mother he has just met.
Park City: Jan. 19 - 29. Full lineup and details here.
