There are many statistics we could deploy here to remind you of the systemic ways female directors in general and Latina filmmakers in particular are undervalued and under-appreciated around the world. But for Women’s History Month, we figured it’d be more productive to celebrate instead the work of talented Latinas around the globe who are thriving with passionate work that’s setting the standard for film industries all over.
In that spirit we’ve compiled a list of films from the past two decades directed by Latina filmmakers that you can stream this month. Whether you’re looking for a chick flick about getting over a guy, a gripping doc about Brazil’s current political crisis, or a sweet coming of age tale starring America Ferrera, Latina directors have you covered. Take a look at our short list below and find the time to rewatch an old fave or discover a brand new one.
