Synopsis: The story of three transgender women who joined the migrant caravan in hopes of reaching and crossing the US border. |
Impact:
At the peak of the 2018 migrant caravan, there were roughly 7,200 people attempting to walk thousands of miles to the American border. Among those making the journey was a small group of trans women. These women, strangers at the outset, formed a community along the way to keep each other safe. The Right Girls is a film that tells the story of three such women.
Director Timothy Wolfer met the girls in Southern Mexico and traveled alongside them to Mexico City, on to Tijuana and eventually to a remote dusty border post where each girl, an anxiety-filled six weeks later, requested asylum.
