Marijuano (El)

A queer Chicano pothead (Juan) decides to leave his gentrifying neighborhood in South Los Angeles but not before seeing his best friend (Billy) one night for one last hurrah. On his last night, the two reminisce, open old wounds, and try to heal. El Marijuano is a film about queer Latine by queer Latine. It explores mental health, queerness, and sentimentality among two men, all of which defy the machismo culture inherent in the Latine community and bring queerness to the forefront when such characters are usually relegated to the background.
