"Beba, which refers to Huntt’s childhood nickname, is not a glossed-over immigrant redemption story. Through poetry, narration—featuring the voices of writers like James Baldwin and Audre Lorde—and interviews with family and friends, Huntt, the daughter of a Black Dominican father and a Venezuelan mother, pieces together painful parts of her family and social history, extracting her own identity out of the remnants of her trauma."

"Huntt often puts herself in a far-from-heroic light, and she builds her own film and filmmaking into her sense of guilt: 'I fear my family will never talk to me again; I promise this is the last time I’ll snitch.' Huntt is so candid that I believe her. But she’s such an artist that I can’t imagine she’ll be able to keep her promise."
