Jessica Kastlunger I had the opportunity to hear about the film from Ela Troyano herself when she came to UCSD for a class screening and discussion. The film is in the traditional PBS style, but still so fascinating.It features great archival footage and songs from La Lupe. The documentary really engages the viewer. I never had heard of La Lupe, but was instantly hooked by her insane and captivating style of musical performance. Her voice is very raw, with deep and raspy qualities. It's a great documentary that shows the Cuban artists rise to fame and eventually her fall. The film highlights her relationships to other artists and her stubborn personality. This documentary is very captivating and entertaining documentary and I highly recommend it.Ela Troyano had never heard of La Lape before getting wrapped up in the documentary, as she stated in her lecture. Ela is, in my opinion, a great film maker, and a very interesting story teller.
