SOY CRIS DE TIERRA BOMBA

I love this film because it talks about the freedom and ability to live your true self. It focuses on a protagonist who identifies as a member of the LGBTIQ+ community, but anyone can relate to Cristian's struggle. It is an internal struggle. From when you don't know what's wrong with you to when you understand why you act in a certain way, in hindsight. We have all acted. Social media are our great ally when it comes to creating a character, an alter ego. We have all tried to put on a mask or hide something about ourselves because of feeling pressure of having to comply with some norm or social expectation or for fear of showing our true selves. Cristian just wants to be himself. In a world that punishes those who don't fit into a so-called “norm” and also discriminates on multiple levels, it can be hard to “just be yourself”, feel free, whole, and fulfilled. You have to find your inner strength and that path is not easy and full of ups and downs. At the end Cristian, with his black wings, invites us to be free and fly. I hope as a director that this film gives you the courage to be who you really want to be.
