Señorita Maria, la falda de la montaña (2017)
Maria Luisa lives in Boavita, one of the most conservative Catholic villages in Colombia. She is 45 years old and though she was born male, she identifies herself as a woman and dresses like one. Standing tall and proud, there is nothing powerful enough to wipe her smile away. A documentary about trans identities in rural Latin America.
