Carlie Guevara in The Garden Left Behind
In the first part of my interview with Flavio Alves about The Garden Left Behind, we discussed how the film was influenced by his own experiences as a South American immigrant in the Us, and he spoke at length about the research he had done with transgender people to bring authenticity to this story of a young trans woman, Tina [Carlie Guevara], trying to build a life for herself and her grandmother while navigating the bureaucracy of medically-supported transition. we began to second part of our discussion by talking abut the way he portrayed activism within the film. Tina herself is a quiet woman and not the sort of person who would normally speak out, but her friends persuade her to do so after a local trans woman is murdered. At the time of writing, at least 15 trans people, mostly people of colour, have been murdered in.
