“I’m reeling,” she said of the pilot, which was directed by Ava DuVernay. “I grew up on the Lower East Side in the ’80s and ’90s and it was war-torn. I grew up in an abandoned building. I knew what it was like where poor people helped poor people and never expected anyone else to come and rescue you. There was so much danger and there was so much beauty.”

She continued, “There’s a balance you strike every day trying to navigate your humanity, trying to balance your fears and your hopes. You’re growing up in communities and raising your family in communities that are at war — you can go into communities across America that are experiencing poverty and violence and trying to keep your family safe and making sure [your kids] are going to be more afraid of you than the drug dealer on the street to keep them in line … [The episode] just touched a deep core in me that felt so real.”

“And maybe with Rent I got to express a bit of this, but it was never so palatable and real and as visceral as this,” she added, wiping away tears. “I’m so emotional right now. This is so real for so many people in the world around us … some of this is going to be triggering with a lot of the footage we’re seeing in the news [of the war in Ukraine]. But there’s a real heart and a lesson that is there that might be surprising for people to encounter in a fictional work.”

DMZ is set to premiere on HBO Max on March 17.

In case you missed it, a release date was just announced for one of Rosario‘s highly-anticipated projects!
