A RUN FOR MORE (FOR CHOCO) is a documentary film immersing viewers in Frankie Gonzales-Wolfe’s unique campaign toward becoming the first openly elected transgender official in the state of Texas. Just one month before the election, Frankie Gonzales-Wolfe loses her mentor and madrina, Choco Meza, to cancer. Meza, a Clinton campaign organizer, and longtime activist in San Antonio ignited in Frankie a passion for political activism and helped Frankie come out as transgender to her friends and family. As Frankie transitions from male to female, she rededicates her volunteer efforts to honor Choco's legacy and carry forward her mission. A RUN FOR MORE (FOR CHOCO) is about more than one race – it's about working towards a world where people who are shut out of our democracy can reclaim their voices, build collective power, and create the conditions to thrive.
