This is a film retrospective of America Ferrera's work! From the Disney Channel Original Gotta Kick It Up to truly iconic feature films like Real Women Have Curves and Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and now BARBIE, America Ferrera has brought life to stories about Latinas on the big screen. Playing characters that are often othered, criticized, or ostracized because of their weight or strong sense of self, America is finally getting her flowers for her powerful filmography.  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/locatora_productions See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
