s smash success on Disney+, we now have another Lin-Manuel Miranda project upon us: a full-blown adaptation of

Chu, the film stars an incredibly talented Latinx cast that portrays the residents of a predominantly Dominican neighborhood of New York City s Washington Heights. Showing in theaters and streaming on HBO Max, the movie follows a handful of characters as their dreams unfold in Washington Heights: there s Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who yearns to return to the Dominican Republic; Vanessa, who wants to become a fashion designer; and Nina, who drops out of Stanford and finds herself at odds with her father when she returns home.

In the Heights isn t just a musical, it s a movement. It s showing the world that Latinx stories are immensely important and worth telling. Starring Anthony Ramos, Melissa Barrera, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, the cast is almost entirely made up of Latinx actors and their roles aren t stereotyped as maids or gardeners. As a Latina myself, it s not only refreshing to see actors that look like my family and friends on screen, but it s an incredibly crucial component of authentic storytelling.
