Synopsis: ‘In an intimate and deeply personal documentary, immigrant Latino fathers across the U.S. recount the impact of their children’s coming out. Through raw, heartfelt testimonies, these families delve deeply into issues of immigration, prejudice, and isolation, while thoughtfully asking questions of their communities, culture, and even their religious beliefs. The result is a powerful lesson on solidarity and humility in a film that both heals and inspires. El Canto del Colibri premiered at Frameline39 in June 2015.’
The entire film is now available on Vimeo On Demand.
Director Marco Castro-Bojorquez comments via The Advocate, “I want to show that there are Latino immigrant fathers who love their LGBT children unconditionally and that they reaffirm their love as they share their experiences with us, and that their journey wasn’t easy.” Take a look at the trailer below.
And by the way, the title means ‘the hummingbird’s song’.
