Ginger Gentile´s films get noticed the world over. In Argentina, where most of her work was done, she has been on all of the major news networks discussing her films, on more than 30 radio talk shows and in numerous newspaper articles–including a front page headline. This is because her films dare to go where other filmmakers won´t–be it a slum or a controversial topic like child custody–and her films have built in social media and press campaigns. Getting the audience to reflect is not enough, they must be moved to take action.
