Gordita Chronicles(2022)

The American dream... pero not quite.

Gordita Chronicles is a coming-of-age comedy series that follows a Latina reporter reflecting on her childhood in 1980s Miami. As a headstrong, self-conscious Dominican immigrant, she navigates the complexities of fitting in while surrounded by her colorful, eccentric family. The show balances humor with heart as it captures the struggles and triumphs of growing up between two worlds—caught between her family's traditions and the American culture around her. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami during the Reagan era, Gordita Chronicles explores identity, belonging, and the messy reality of adolescence through a distinctly Latinx lens. The series celebrates the resilience and humor that define immigrant family life while offering an honest, often hilarious portrait of what it means to find your place in a new country.
