Trailer

Why watch this film?

Writer, visual artist and pioneer of the Queer movement in Latin America, Chilean Pedro Lemebel shook the structures of conservative society in the region during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in the 1980s. Here, in this documentary by Joanna Reposi Garibaldi, we dive into an intimate and poetic journey through the daring performances of the artist, who passed away prematurely in 2015. It is, finally, an ode and a rightful tribute to the work of the Chilean, who helped build new perspectives and make people from all classes and creeds look at the queer community of Latin America.
