This is a project from one of my classes during my freshman year in college. The original site is this one: Women & Film
You will find five blog posts for five different movies on this page. All movies are female-directed and center around social issues such as non-heteronormativity, trauma, drug trafficking, and immigration.
The individual blog posts can be accessed by clicking on the text or pictures below or using the menu options of the website. Clicking on the directors’ names will link to a page with five short biographies for the featured Latina directors.
