Special screening of Latina lowrider documentary film April 21


Cruising low and slow down the streets of Chicano San Diego is the city’s only all-women’s lowrider car club, The Unique Ladies. Pat and Sherry turn heads for their super slick and tricked out vehicles, and cause a stir by challenging a gender norm--where traditionally, men rule the road, and women take the sidelines. It’s been a constant struggle to keep their club alive, however they’ve managed to make it to their fifth year. Now the ladies want to expand their club, inviting another lady lowrider to their club, Linda. The transition isn’t proving easy, as the lowrider scene is still resistant to women taking the driver’s seat.

Conejo Films presents:  The Unique Ladies, an award winning documentary about an all Latina lowrider car club.
