Film Screening Questions No. 3: Fire

Please see your questions below:

1. In what way can we possibly connect Fire and Once Upon a Quinceneara in terms of examining cultural/religious and a gendered practice(s) of tradition?

4. How can we understand culture/cultural practice vs oppression? Which one is most apparent in the film - and what reading can you best use to articulate this position/answer clearly?
