If you don’t know anything about our film, here’s a little intro:

Recovering Irma crystallizes in the aftermath of domestic violence homicide as Sandra and her nephew Lorenzo embark upon a road trip from San Francisco to her parents hometown of El Paso. Along the way, they will piece together her mothers life, as they interview the people Irma loved and travel through her favorite places. Since Irma truly loved her husband, they will get to know Rudy Junior better too.

Sandra and Lorenzo will also meet with perpetrators, survivors, law enforcement officials, and front line Domestic Violence experts asking the question, How do we stop this? As the road trip unfolds, Lorenzo will quickly discover this journey is a chance to see what he could become if he doesnt change. Sandras hope is that by going back to where it all began, generations will have a chance to remember, heal, change, and ultimately be set free.

Change Starts with I.
