Comparsa

A genuinely heartfelt, empowering and enlightening documentary .

Comparsa is more than a film. It’s a movement. One meant to celebrate and condemn, to party as a community and persecute the state as the fight to end violence against women and girls continues.

"A universal story representative of the lack of care, respect and rights given to women and girls all over the world. Lesli and Lupe are not fighting back through the courts. **Instead, they offer up their joyful, art-driven methods as a fresh way for young people to engage, build peace and heal deep wounds.** The film shows them stage a community comparsa — an exuberant street performance featuring towering puppets, fire-breathing stilt walkers and thundering drums. They take their youth movement to the streets demanding the safety, dignity and freedom to feel joy for girls everywhere." —John Moore, _Denver Gazette_
