It deals with homophobia from a yet unavailable perspective in our communities: that of a young, Latina girl. Films addressing homophobia often center teenagers or adults as protagonist, but the experiences of LGBTQ children remain invisible. The film provides young girls with artistic options in which to see themselves reflected. By focusing the film on precocious and precious children, we hope it provides a space for us as Latino Americans to teach tolerance and acceptance of LGBTQ children and adults. Ultimately, it is a story of dreams, hopes and friendship. This film deals with themes of identity, coming out, anti-bullying, activism and friendship. What makes this film very special is that all of the characters are Chicana females.  "I am committed to casting all Xicana actors and having as many women in leadership and creative roles behind the scenes." - Karla Legaspy hatchfund.org/project/gold_star_short_film Guest | Karla Legaspy Host | Xavier Mejia   Gold Star (short film) on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/GOLD-STAR-The-Short-Film/1409237732701349?ref=aymt_homepage_panel 00:41:00*QTalkRadionoComing Out,Anti Bullying,Activism,Friendship,WomanThis film addresses the need to bring awareness of LGBTQ childrenand youth within Latino American communities.
