Set against the vibrant spectacle of the jaripeo, a symbol of Mexican cowboy tradition and machismo, this story unveils a hidden world of queer desire and quiet rebellion. As glances and gestures disrupt the rigid norms of masculinity, the rodeo becomes a stage for our protagonists to navigate identity, community, and the search for belonging in an oppressively traditional space.
Directed by Rebecca Zweig and Efraín Mojica

Jaripeo
From the brilliant direction to the personal nature of the documentary itself, the raw, intimate, visually stunning and utterly captivating Jaripeo transcends beyond “traditional” styles of documentaries and perhaps even ratings as a whole. Just really, really good, and I silently wept with Mojica in the same row as me ❤️

And Hacernos Así is a TUNEEEEE!!!!!!!!

The vibes are here, this was confirmed to me when the directors took the stage and said multiple times “we wanted the vibes to be on point”
