"Some Girls" screening and discussion with Director and Producer

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC |  A screening of "Some Girls" will take place in Kinoteca, followed by a discussion with Director Raquel Cepeda and Producer Henry Chalfant.

Some Girls is a feature documentary that explores issues of identity within the Latina-American community by focusing on a group of troubled teenage girls in a Bronx-based suicide prevention program who feel rejected by mainstream America, but are transformed through an exploration of their roots, followed by a trip to the seat of the Americas. On that journey to modern-day Dominican Republic, the white supremacist narratives about American history they’ve been taught are challenged, leaving them free to re-construct their own respective identities. What does it really mean to be American? And, more importantly, what does that look like? The film will be presented by producer Henry Chalfant and a Skype Q and A with the Director will follow.
