Meet Rebbeca: Becky G’s Tribeca Documentary Unpacks Her Past and Música Mexicana Era
There’s always been Becky G, the superstar. But now, the world is meeting Rebbeca—the woman behind the stage name. This June, the Mexican-American icon will premiere her first documentary, Rebbeca (AKA Becky G), at the 2025 Tribeca Festival, offering fans an intimate look at her journey through música mexicana, identity, and homecoming.
Becky G is telling her story on her own terms
Directed and produced by Jennifer Tiexiera and Gabriela Cavanagh, Rebbeca (AKA Becky G) follows the chart-topping artist as she creates her debut regional Mexican album Esquinas. More than a studio diary, the film traces Becky’s return to her roots, revisiting the “beautiful and complicated past” that shaped her artistry and identity. According to the official synopsis, the film is Becky’s most personal and ambitious project yet.
After the premiere, Becky G will also hit the stage for a special live performance, marking one of Tribeca 2025’s most anticipated Spotlight+ events.
Becky G’s Rebbeca is part of Tribeca’s biggest music doc lineup ever
Tribeca is going big on music this year, and Becky G is right at the center. The 2025 lineup includes films about Billy Joel, Metallica, Depeche Mode, and Miley Cyrus, with exclusive performances following each premiere. Becky’s inclusion in this high-profile slate signals her cultural staying power, not just as a pop star, but as a storyteller and creative force.
It’s fitting. As Remezcla reported, the singer’s Hollywood presence has grown steadily, from her breakout role in the Power Rangers reboot to voicing a character in DC’s Blue Beetle. But Rebbeca marks a turning point: for the first time, she’s the one behind the lens, shaping the narrative.
Why Rebbeca (AKA Becky G) matters right now
The documentary arrives at a time when Latinas in entertainment are pushing for more self-authored narratives. Becky’s decision to revisit her upbringing and musical evolution speaks to a broader cultural reclamation moment. As Tiexiera, who is of Mexican and Filipino descent, brings her lens to Becky’s story, the film joins a growing movement of Latinx creators reshaping media from within.
Plus, Becky’s música mexicana era is already a fan favorite. Esquinas earned critical praise and resonated deeply across generations. As Becky told fans when the album dropped, this project was “for mi familia, for my abuelitos, for my younger self.”
Becky G like you’ve never seen her before
The premiere of Rebbeca comes just months after Becky G dropped her second regional Mexican album, Encuentros.
Single-day tickets for the 2025 Tribeca Festival go on sale to the general public on April 29, with presale access starting April 24 for members. Rebbeca (AKA Becky G) premieres during the festival’s run from June 4–15 in New York City.
So if you’ve ever wanted to see Becky G beyond the bops and the glam, Rebbeca is the raw, layered story we’ve been waiting for.
