This is not only the first Bolivian digital film in history, but also the first indie film to be co-produced by filmmakers in Bolivia and the United States. Through the collaborative efforts of the Ithaca film community and a large production team in Bolivia, the film followed five teenagers from different socio-economic, racial and cultural backgrounds in two countries. The project evolved into the most-talked-of artistic endeavor in Bolivia, earning it a seminal position in what Bolivian media has termed "new Bolivian cinema".

The director states that the film "is a testimony to what I experienced as a Bolivian teenager with dreams of a better life in the US, and what [co-writer] Lenelle Moise experienced as a black, female Haitian growing up in a similarly abusive America. The points of convergence between our experiences testimonializes the conflicts of sexual abuse, racism, homophobia and marginalization which continue to increase."
