, the pair tackled a real-life horror story using the genre as a tool to bring awareness to a social justice cause that was inspired by Jordan Peele’s 2017 hittells the story of Mexican American couple Diana and Beto who have just relocated to a farming community in California. Diana’s pregnancy becomes mysteriously complicated and she isn’t the first to struggle while pregnant in her adopted town.
She continued, “When I was researching the Americanization of the Mexican American experience for something totally unrelated, I came across information about the sterilization of Mexican women in the ’60s and ’70s in California that totally blew my mind. I wondered if I should write a drama about it decided this is a horror story.
Adds Ochoa, “It was important for me to show we’re not a monolith. Through Diana, it was important for me to show the second-generation Mexican American experience, and through Beto, a different perspective as he’s immigrated here and works as a migrant farmworker. And even further through the character of Tomas who is even more Americanized than Diana. Our life experiences differ greatly, not just when comparing the countries we are connected to but even the cities we grow up in.
