‘Dirty Feathers’ El Paso Trailer For Berlin Premiere

February 25, 2021

Dirty Feathers, Carlos Alfonso Corral’s feature documentary about El Paso's homeless, will debuts at the 2021 Berlin International Film Festival Panorama program. Carlos Alfonso Corral, Roberto Minervini, Denise Ping Lee, and Denise Dorado produced. Slingshot Films is handling world sales.

The documentary chronicles the residents of a homeless shelter in El Paso, TX.
