KENYA
Gisela Delgadillo; 2022; Mexico; 90 min.

A poignant and heartfelt story of resilience, community, and activism during a few years in the life of Kenya Cuevas, a sex worker and trans rights activist in Mexico City. We meet Kenya after she witnesses the death of her friend Paola at the hands of a client.

Closely following Kenya through these intimate moments, she welcomes us into her inner world. She deals with the death of her friend and the threat of violence against trans women in Mexico City, while fighting for a better world for herself and her sisters. A beautifully raw tribute to the life of Paola and Kenya’s continuing work advocating for trans rights and for her community.
