The TVI Take

Patricia Cardoso's 2002 East Los Angeles film, adapted from Josefina López's play. America Ferrera plays a Mexican-American eighteen-year-old whose Ivy League ambitions conflict with her mother's expectations and a family sewing factory.

The film centers fat-positive, Latina, working-class adolescence three decades before mainstream cinema caught up.
