Perihal filem ini

Critically acclaimed by INDIEWIRE as, "A landmark documentary", MALA MALA explores the intimate moments, performances, friendships and activism of trans identifying people, drag queens and others who defy typical gender identities in Puerto Rico. The film features Ivana, an activist; Soraya, an older sex-change pioneer; Sandy, a prostitute looking to make a change; and Samantha and Paxx, both of whom struggle with the quality of medical resources available to assist in their transition. Hailed as “Sensitive and thoughtful” by the NEW YORK TIMES and winner of the audience award for documentary film at the Tribeca Film Festival, MALA MALA affirms that the quest to find oneself can be both difficult and beautiful.

Rating dan ulasan

This film was an amazingly well balanced look into the trans community of Puerto Rico which isn't unlike most of the U.S. The revealing documentary was not scared to look at the dark side of reality, yet did not dwell upon it and showed a bright beacon of hope for trans people everywhere.

Wonderfully made and rich with up and personal interviews
