About this event
Comparsa. 2025. Dir. Vickie Curtis and Doug Anderson. (Guatemala/USA). 79 min. Comparsa is a compelling, intimate portrait of young women using art to heal their community in the aftermath of violence. From the shadows of a Guatemalan barrio scared into silence, sisters Lesli and Lupe lead a luminous rebellion-unleashing joy, art, and radical truth in an epic fight for survival. The film sheds light on the true cost of gender-based violence, the role of art in building resistance and resilience, and the transformative potential of grassroots youth action.
