Garotas da Moda 

Praising Black representation and condemning the power structures that suppress it, a mother delivers an impassioned speech to her distant son.

A haunting look at grief, survival, and a mother’s quiet collapse in a world that never gave her room to fall.

In an all-black community in Louisiana, a young girl learns her father has committed infidelity and turns to hoodoo to seek justice.
