Firmes, 2013, USA / Mexico
Firmes chronicles the hardships and triumphs faced by a tight-knit group of Mexican Lowriders fighting for survival in the Bronx. United by their love for art, culture and Mexican traditions, they’ve formed strong bonds bringing the Chicano Lowrider style from the west coast to the streets of New York.
