"We need you. The block needs you." An official trailer has debuted for a black & white indie drama titled La Leyenda Negra, which originally premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Made by Portuguese filmmaker Patricia Vidal Delgado, her feature debut, the film received a Special Mention at the Festival Mix Milano this year as well. Set in Compton, a soon-to-be undocumented teenager named Aleteia fights for her right to stay in America while risking her family, her friendships, and her first love. Starring Monica Betancourt as Aleteia, Kailei Lopez, Irlanda Moreno, Maria Jose Fernandez, Sammy Flores, and Justin Avila. The exec producer explains: "The leads were actual students from Compton HS drawing from their personal experiences in the Latinx community. [It's] a timely, coming of age piece that supports female-driven, Latinx, LGBTQIA stories, and voices." Looks like an honest story about growing up. ›››
