Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

This film features a predominantly Latinx cast, centering its narrative on the experiences of a Mexican-American family. It explicitly addresses themes of cultural identity, body image, and female empowerment, challenging traditional societal norms and expectations.

Secondary
