Kenya


Documentary | Mexico | 2022 | 88 min | Spanish

Synopsis

They had barely gone a few meters when Kenya, a trans woman sex worker, ran to the car in response to Paola's cries for help. Upon arrival, three shots of a firearm announced the agony of her friend who lost her life together with her attacker. That scene was recorded on Kenya's cell phone.
After this crime, Kenia begins a fight that leads her to walk through the darkest corners of abandonment and violence experienced by trans women, without realizing that her actions will change her destiny and confront her with the fear and pain of seeing herself reflected in that tragic ending.
