Ricardo is a deeply personal short film about navigating identity, ethnic ambiguity, and the quiet pressure to be acceptable in a world that wants to define you. If this resonates with you, or someone you love, we’d be honored to have your support in bringing Ricardo to life.
Whether you donate, share, or simply help this story reach further, every bit truly matters.
