"Tierra madre" is based on the true story of Aidée, an aging Tijuana pole dancer who is determined to provide for her daughter. Same-sex marriage and artificial insemination not legally permitted in Mexico (at the time), her female partner convinces her to go on the hunt for a male to conceive. Filmed in a week with a $2000 budget, a one-man crew, and an all female non-professional cast, it won the Morelia Film Festival.
