Why watch the movie One Taxi Ride?
"Winner of the Grand Prize at the Guadalajara Film Festival 2019, "A Taxi Ride" is a powerful observational documentary that tells the story of Erick, a gay man who suffered a sexual assault when he was a teenager during a taxi ride and kept it a secret for a decade. When he's finally ready to reveal it, questions arise about the reaction of his family and Mexican society, hypermasculine and macho.
