Pasos de Valor

About This Movie

Pasos de Valor, directed by Natalia Bell, is a poignant exploration of the struggles faced by a pregnant Latinx MBA student. The tension builds as her due date clashes with her final exam, and the male professor's refusal to accommodate her circumstances reflects broader themes of gender and systemic bias in academia. The film has this raw, authentic feel, almost like a documentary at times, which makes the emotional stakes resonate even more. Performances are grounded, especially from the lead, who navigates this pressure cooker of a situation with both vulnerability and strength. It’s a unique blend of personal narrative and social commentary, and you can feel the director's connection to the material—it’s inspired by her own birth story, after all.
