To celebrate the release we sat down with Victoria Bazúa who is making a remarkable debut in Hollywood with Land of Women, where she portrays Kate, Gala’s (Longoria) daughter.

When reflecting on her role and the broader representation it brings, Bazúa emphasized “I hope viewers see that the trans community are human beings. We deserve respect and love. Our gender identity is just one part of who we are.” Her character, Kate, is more than just her identity; she’s an artist, a teenager, and a granddaughter, adding depth and authenticity to the story.
