"Mexican trans sex worker seeks justice for murdered friend...Gisela Delgadillo’s pulsating debut documentary on the streets of Mexico City follows the magnetic Kenya and her tireless efforts to provide a voice for community" - Guardian

"Raw and deeply affecting...Kenya offers the camera a disarming welcome. Despite the outward show—high heels, wigs, make-up, plastic surgery—there’s a distinct lack of vanity on display." - IDFA

"Gisela Delgadillo employs a generous and empowering hands-off filmmaking, technique that places the energy of story-telling into its subject’s hands, with raw and intimate results." - GAZE, Int. LGBTGIA Fest.

"stands as a social mirror for the condition of Mexican sex workers for whom the streets are not only their place of existence, but also of resistance. Kenya carefully addresses the lives of trans women. It is a worthy, sensitive and pedagogical film, capable of mobilizing us for transformation.” - Queer Porto, **Winner** Best Film
