REPRESENT Film Series: Things We Dare Not Do

The Gender & Sexuality Student Resource Center hosts REPRESENT - a monthly film and discussion series exploring powerful experiences and perspectives often not represented in mainstream media. Each film is selected for it's unique look into the intersections of gender, sexuality, culture, identity, and experience.
In celebration of Latine/Hispanic Heritage Month, we will be showing Things We Dare Not Do, a film by Bruno Santamaria, Abril Lopez Carillo, and Andrea Rabasa.
About: In the small Mexican coastal village of El Roblito, 16-year-old Ñoño lives what seems to be an idyllic existence with his loving family. But he holds a secret. Defying gender norms, Ñoño works up the courage to tell his family he wants to live his life as a woman, a fraught decision in a country shrouded in machismo and transphobia.
This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov).
