We sat down with documentary filmmakers, Dan Sickles and Antonio Santini as well as trans activist, Sophia Voines to discuss their film, Mala Mala.
The documentary follows the stories of 9 transgender individuals in Puerto Rico through their everyday lives, highlighting their intimate moments, performances, struggles, friendships, activism and overall fight for acceptance.
