The Storm that Swept Mexico
United States, 2010, 124 min.
Director: Ray Telles
Documentary
The Storm that Swept Across Mexico talks of a figurative storm, which doesn't make it any less powerful. The film captures the essence of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, and goes on to showcase how this revolutionary fervor was not contained in Mexico, but made ripples all over the world. The film follows the chronology of the conflict using interviews, impressive and hardly-beforeseen footage from the era. Ultimately, in recoiling from El Porfiriato and recognizing its own homegrown heroes, Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, and Lazaro Cardenas -Mexico carved its own nationalistic identity with courage.

I am the Queen
US/Chicago, 2010, 82 min.
Director: Henrique Cirne Lima, Josue Pellot
I am the Queen takes a look at the often unobserved life of Chicago's Puerto Rican transgender community. This film documents the Cacique Pageant, the first annual transgender pageant held in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood. I am the Queen follows Bianca, Julissa and Jolizza as they prep for the Cacique Pageant and negotiate being a teen and transgender in a predominantly Latino neighborhood of Chicago. The film exposes the restructuring of the family unit experienced by pageant participants who are often distanced from their biological family only to find kinship among others in the Puerto Rican transgender community.
Discussion to follow screening.
