Rebeca “Beba” Huntt strives to come to terms with the violence that has been inscribed in her DNA for generations. Growing up in New York City as the daughter of a Black father from the Dominican Republic and a fair-skinned mother from Venezuela, she discovers and questions her own identity as an Afro-Latina as well as the role which she subsequently assumes as a student at the renowned Bard College, a predominantly white environment. Private recordings, archive material, interviews, snapshot moments, largely captured on 16mm, offer a beguilingly intimate impression in this relentless self-exploration. A massive, emotionally extreme, dense debut that Huntt worked on for eight years.
