Ximena Sariñana saw something special with the documentary On The Divide that helped our craft her latest new sing “Aqui No Hay Pena.”

The documentary follows three people at an abortion clinic on the border of Texas and Mexico. With different perspectives, the film shows that the abortion issue isn’t at all black and white, but with a lot of grey. Personal morals and beliefs set people apart on their views and oftentimes it can change.

For Sariñana, she wrote the song “Aqui No Hay Pena” with lyrics dedicated to bravery and encouragement in the feminist movement. It is an original song and part of the soundtrack.

The singer presented “Aqui No Hay Pena” live during a private event last night at the Mexican Consulate General’s Residence in New York City. Also, the film On The Divide made its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Here’s the official synopsis of On The Divide:

On The Divide follows the story of three Latinx people living in McAllen, Texas who, despite their views, are connected by the most unexpected of places: the last abortion clinic on the United States/Mexican border. As threats to the clinic and their personal safety mount, these three are forced to make decisions they never could have imagined.

Maya Cueva and Leah Grant directed the documentary.
