Join us for the next Reel Film Club screening at Facets Multimedia as we present RITA, the powerful new film by acclaimed Guatemalan director Jayro Bustamante.

About the Film:

Guatemala’s official entry to the Academy Awards for Best International Feature follows Rita, a 13-year-old girl who is placed at a government-run orphanage after escaping an abusive household. The girls inside share a prophecy that an angel-like being will rescue them from the orphanage’s confines. This haunting drama blends elements of fantasy and horror to explore themes of abuse, survival, and hope through the eyes of vulnerable children. Previously featured at the 41st Chicago Latino Film Festival, RITA showcases Bustamante’s masterful storytelling and striking cinematography.
