7:30 ~ Cinema de la Cultura: Real Women Have Curves
In collaboration with CapMetro

“I love you, that's why I make you miserable.” If there is a better line to describe a mother/daughter relationship, I haven't heard it. America Ferrera (in her debut!) delivers a stand-out fearless performance of a working class girl, growing up in LA, dreaming of a better life, while committing the ultimate sin: not being a size 2. Now that toxic 2000s diet culture is back full force, Real Women Have Curves is once again radical.

Co-presented with CapMetro in support of World Car-Free day. Take the bus (or train or bike share) any time on Sept 22nd and get a free concession at the theater!

Cinema de la Cultura brings five films from the last 25 years to Hyperreal Film Club this Hispanic Heritage Month, spanning across genres and borders. Each screening is co-presented with a different community partner, tying each story to real work happening here in Austin.

CapMetro is proud to support the screening of Real Women Have Curves at Hyperreal Film Club on September 22, in celebration of both Hispanic Heritage Month and World Car-Free Day. The film follows a working-class family whose day-to-day are shaped by public transit—getting to work, to school, to each other. It's a reminder that transit is more than a way to get around; it's a community connector and a bridge for those who dream of spreading their wings above and beyond their circumstances. On a day dedicated to leaving the car at home, during a period celebrating the richness of Hispanic heritage, CapMetro is honored to help carry this story—and our riders—forward.
