Pelo Malo -Identity and LGTBQ+ Experiences

A nine-year-old boy’s preening obsession with straightening his hair elicits a tidal wave of homophobic panic in his hard-working mother, in this tender but clear-eyed coming-of-age tale.

This screening is presented for free and open to the public by UMass Lowell’s Department of World Languages and Cultures as part of their Latin Film Festival, Identity and LGTBQ+ Experiences.
