A Fish Almost Eaten By A Shark (Spanish Sub)

Beyondmedia Education, Chicago

Una jugadora latina de 17 años intenta hacer un video, “Cómo iniciar una alianza gay-heterosexual en su escuela secundaria”, y en su lugar se encuentra con la homofobia de su directora. Después de participar en las Chicas! Acción! Medios! taller en Horizons, 16 años de edad, Zaida Sanabia se asoció con Beyondmedia para hacer este documental sobrio y sincero sobre la escuela y la vida familiar para los estudiantes queer. Este video de Beyondmedia se encuentra actualmente en distribución local e internacional, y se utiliza como una herramienta de capacitación sobre jóvenes LGBTQ, seguridad escolar y homofobia. Zaida Sanabia, coordinadora juvenil de Beyondmedia y productora del video, lleva a cabo un programa continuo de proyecciones con discusiones en escuelas secundarias, programas de acogida, universidades y organizaciones alrededor del área metropolitana de Chicago. A Fish también ha aparecido en televisión por cable y en 15 festivales de cine y video en todo Estados Unidos y más allá, obteniendo dos premios de primer lugar. Zaida recibió el premio Chicago Foundation for Women’s Ripple Affect como “un ejemplo brillante del triunfo de las mujeres y las niñas cuando se les da la oportunidad.” Desde entonces, Sanabia ha sido incluida en el Salón de la Fama LGBT de Chicago.

A 17 year-old soccer playing Latina tries to make a video, “How to Start a Gay-Straight Alliance in Your High School,” and runs smack into her principal’s homophobia instead.

This Beyondmedia video is currently in distribution locally and internationally, and is used as a training tool on LGBTQ youth, school safety and homophobia.

Zaida Sanabia, Beyondmedia’s Youth Coordinator and the video’s producer, conducts an ongoing program of screenings with discussions in high schools, drop-in programs, universities and organizations around the Chicago metropolitan area.
