description: "Patricia Cardoso is a Colombian and American filmmaker, screenwriter and producer. She is best known for her 2002 film Real Women Have Curves, which centers around the experiences of a young Mexican-American woman navigating the challenges of family, culture, and body image. The film's lasting impact was recognized in 2019, when it was selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the National Film Registry \"as a cinematic treasure and worthy of preservation as part of America's patrimony\". This honor made Cardoso the first Latin woman director to have a film included in the registry."
