About this submission

Growing up mixed-race has been really… odd for me, especially when it comes to figuring out which groups to identify with. I've always felt this pressure to prove I'm "Latino enough," and it can be exhausting. Talking to other people who actually get it has been almost therapeutic. That's part of why I decided to make a documentary exploring what it means to grow up in a mixed-race family. I'm hoping it can help other kids who are also trying to figure things out, so they know they're not alone in feeling this way.
