‘También la Iluvia’: A Lesson in Shallow Representation
'También la Iluvia' exploits Indigenous peoples' fight against the privatization of water in order to tell a story about Spanish characters.

When you’re on the way but you’re a liar! Told as a series of texts between two friends dreading their plan to hang out, “On My Way” directed by Mary Dauterman is a 90 second comedy about not wanting to leave the house.
