Boca Chica - Hispanic Heritage Month Film Series

Join us to watch Boca Chica, a film that shines a light on the insidious child sex trade and the lives it seeks to destroy. Director Gabriella A. Moses exposes the community’s complicity by way of 12-year-old Desi, who is constantly exposed to unwanted advances and crude comments from older men, both visiting and homegrown. She dreams of parlaying her nascent musical talents into a full-fledged singing career. When she stumbles across a group of local rappers, her passions begin to boil to the surface. She seeks to avoid falling prey to the morally bankrupt adults in her life who encourage her to forgo her innocence for profit.
