The Voice of God

2024-10-22

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Latinos voting for Trump in the US: they exist and there are far more of them than you might think. Alex Cordova travels to the United States in the run-up to the presidential election. He examines the role of the church, politics and identity in the context of the 4 November election.

Lenka Mendoza is an undocumented Peruvian. She lives in the state of Virginia. As an activist, she fights for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. The right to abortion clashes with the conservative position of her evangelical church, putting her at odds with other church members who often support the Republican party because it represents their church's conservative values.

‘The Voice of God’ is a reportage by Alex Cordova for Vranckx & the Nomads and can be seen from 2 November on VRT CANVAS and VRT MAX.
