Synopsis

Hija de Perra was a transvestite artist who would become an icon of dissidence and a benchmark for Latin American underground, after she died in 2014. Multiple intimate and unpublished audiovisual footage, captured by her filmmaker best friend, reveal how this character came about. She experimented in music and film, wrote texts for the academy, and turned his cross-dressing into a political action, questioning gender and sexual identity.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
