** Dear John,
------------------------------------------------------------
Our new streaming classroom film is here! Bibi ([link removed]) tells the story of a Latinx father and son who can talk about anything—but only in the letters they pass back and forth when the conversation seems too much. And after Ben, affectionately called “Bibi” by his father, hands his father a letter that reads “I’m gay,” the two don’t talk at all.
Based on the experiences of the filmmakers behind the project, the 18-minute film explores intersectionality in a powerful way, illustrating the beauty and conflict that can arise as we move between languages, places and societal expectations. A film by Victor Dueñas, Bibi stars J.M. Longoria, Omar Leyva and Oscar nominee Adriana Barraza.
For those who work to help young people honor their own and others’ complex and unique identities, Bibi and the lessons for grades 6-12 that accompany it can spark critical conversations about identity, culture, family and belonging.
We are so excited to share this film with you and—as always—thanks for all you do for students.
