Film: BEBA

New York filmmaker Rebeca “Beba” Huntt explores her cultural background as an Afro-Latinx woman. In this tough, raw, stubborn, and powerful self-portrait, Beba stares down the curses of her ancestry, probing the psychic wounds she has inherited while simultaneously embracing the vastness of her multitudes. In the course of four revealing “chapters,” Huntt sheds light on a complicated family history, her upbringing, the influence of the Black Lives Matter movement, and her dreams of the future. [89 min; documentary; English and Spanish with English subtitles]
