Dear Nancy

(Querida Nancy)
Olivia Peregrino | Documentary

2021 | 68 minutes | Mexico

Brave, provocative, and untimely to the end, Nancy Cárdenas broke barriers, paving the way in the fight for LGBT rights.

Synopsis

Directed by Olivia Peregrino, Dear Nancy is a powerful documentary that chronicles the life and legacy of Nancy Cárdenas, a pioneering figure in Mexico’s LGBT+ rights movement. Brave, provocative, and ahead of her time, Nancy Cárdenas broke down the closet doors of a community that was invisible in 1970s Mexico, leading the fight for LGBT rights.

The film uses a rich tapestry of archival materials, personal letters, and in-depth interviews with family, friends, and colleagues to paint an intimate portrait of Cárdenas. It explores her groundbreaking activism and her relentless advocacy for sexual diversity in a conservative society. Dear Nancy also delves into her personal struggles and the societal challenges she faced as an openly lesbian woman in a repressive era.

Through its thoughtful storytelling and historical context, Dear Nancy serves as both a tribute and a call to action, urging viewers to reflect on the ongoing struggle for equality and the importance of visibility.
