Twice Oscar-nominated Chilean director Maite Alberdi turns the true crime genre on its head with her latest film.
After experiencing multiple miscarriages and the societal shame that comes with it, recently married Alejandra fakes a pregnancy. What starts as an elaborate lie turns into a complex charade that threatens to upend her life and relationship, and ultimately unleashes a media scandal that shakes the entire country.
A Child of My Own takes an empathetic and intriguing approach to Alejandra’s story, digging into the extraordinary societal pressure on young women in Mexico to become mothers.
Followed by a Q&A with director Maite Alberdi, hosted by film critic and curator Maria Delgado.
