Screening of Valentina

Directed by Tatti Ribeiro

In the span of a couple of days, our titular heroine Valentina fights not only for her right to live and drive in today’s United States, free from greedy corporate harassment, but also to find her own path into adulthood and active citizenship in El Paso, Texas—a town that seems hell-bent on thwarting her indomitable energy and spirit.
