The MALA MALA Power Ring honors the bravery it takes to commit to one's identity and is an homage to our home of Puerto Rico.

MALA MALA is the first feature-length non-fiction film made in Puerto Rico to have a theatrical premiere in the mainland United States. Winning an Audience Award at the 2014 TriBeCa Film Festival, the film was celebrated with GLAAD honors and premiered theatrically in 2015. MALA MALA is the first film by Dan Sickles and Antonio Santini.

This moving documentary captures the intimate moments, performances, friendships, and activism of trans-identifying people, drag queens, and others who defy gender norms in Puerto Rico. Featuring Ivana, an activist; Soraya, a gender-affirming pioneer; Sandy, a sex worker looking to make a fresh start; and Samantha and Paxx, both of whom struggle with the quality of medical resources available to assist in their transitions, MALA MALA sensitively and compassionately affirms that the quest to find oneself can be both difficult and beautiful.
