LAS CRUCES - A mini film festival coming to Las Cruces this weekend will center New Mexicans’ lived experiences with reproductive health, culture and community care.

Bold Futures — a reproductive justice organization based in Las Cruces and Albuquerque — will host In My Shoes, a free short film series designed to spark dialogue and deepen understanding of reproductive justice in New Mexico.

The screening takes place Saturday, Oct. 11, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at the Las Cruces Convention Center, 680 E. University Ave. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres will be served, and a cash bar will be available.

Organizers say the In My Shoes series uses personal storytelling to explore issues often left out of public discussions — including fibroids, doula care, sex education and medical discrimination — while showing how identity and community shape those experiences.

“This series uplifts New Mexicans’ voices and resilience,” said Christian Redbird, communications and media associate for Bold Futures. “It’s an opportunity to walk alongside our stories and see how reproductive justice connects to all of us.”

Attendance is free, but RSVPs are encouraged through Eventbrite.
