Join GPB for a cinematic journey with Silvia and Beba as they navigate the end of their childhood. Set against the backdrop of the Texas-Mexico border, Hummingbirds is a coming-of-age story filled with creativity and youthful rebellion. Filmed collaboratively over the final summer of their fleeting youth, their cinematic self-portrait celebrates the power of friendship and joy as tools of survival and resistance.
