Ignore the 30 one star reviews. Watch it and see for yourself.

I was compelled to write a review for this after seeing that it's only got one review. :( It was lovely to watch this sisterhood of trans women from El Salvador and Honduras supporting each other throughout their journey to seek asylum in the US. Witness the joys they celebrate and the struggles they face (despite cameras being around, so I can only imagine what it might be otherwise).

The ending was a bit soured for me due to some drama that seems to occur within the group, and sadly we don't see an update for two of the girls. However, this shouldn't dissuade you from watching it to understand and empathize with what trans communities globally need to endure each day.
