Borders between countries are becoming more porous every day, and it’s imperative to eliminate the feeling of unease that immigrants incite. In LATINAS, four Latina women – mischievously and with humor – tell their stories, inducing us to reflect on the white-hot theme of immigration. |

MEDEA, that huge, round mother, serves as a bruising allegory. Medea, taking the form of her people and their motherland, travels forth and cries out for her children who have gone abroad.

Through
Tales Told Under the Influence, stuffed with the truth, with bruising maturity and clarity, we are entertainingly submerged in the subject matter, and, as though in a mirror, we see the reflection of those who have been able to tell their own
