Unidad: Gay & Lesbian Latinos Unidos is a documentary that captures the struggles of Latinx members of the LGBTQ+ community living in the United States. With this project, I seek to bring attention to the issues faced by this community and to help break down the barriers that exist between those of different sexual orientations and genders.
Through this documentary, I strive to create an impact by highlighting the stories of Latinx LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. By showcasing their experiences, I hope to create a space for dialogue and understanding of LGBTQ+ issues in the Latinx community.

Mario J. Novoa - Producer
As a filmmaker, I'm dedicated to telling stories that are often overlooked or ignored in mainstream media. My latest project, L.A.: A Queer History, is a documentary commissioned by PBS that explores the history of the LGBTQ+ movement in Los Angeles.
This documentary focuses on the people who have shaped the queer community in L.A., and how their activism and movement have impacted the city. It’s an important story to tell, and one that I’ve been passionate about for many years. I invite you to learn more about the project and join me in celebrating the amazing milestones the queer community has achieved in L.A.
