Synopsis

In the year 2050, Latinx people have been assimilated into the (white) majority of the United States, but race issues are far from resolved. In this tricky political environment, Andres Salazar is running for office and must decide whether losing some of his own identity is worth the potential social benefits. When a mysterious stranger appears at his house, Andres’s family must rally around him to save his imperiled campaign.

Reviews

“Tony Meneses’ provocative, near-future drama TWENTY50 dwells in the thorny space in which the more things change, the more they stir up the same old problems.”
—The Denver Post
