Too Opinionated Interview: Milcania Diaz-Rojas

Milcania Diaz-Rojas is a rising Dominican- Canadian actor and writer to watch based in Toronto.

Milcania secured her debut role in the HBO feature SHARE, a film about a sixteen-year-old girl grappling with the aftermath of a troubling video from a night she can't remember. Since then, she has starred in several notable film and television productions, including HOMEKILLING QUEEN (Lifetime), THE BOLD TYPE (Freeform), and SLIP (Roku).

Looking ahead, Milcania will star in the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic thriller 40 ACRES, which will have its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. She will also take on a leading role in the indie film FAT LADY SRIRACHA.

In a post-apocalyptic future where food is scarce, the last descendants of a Black family of farmers who settled in Canada after the American Civil War must protect their homestead from an organized militia hell-bent on taking their land.   After a series of plagues and wars leaves society in ruins, the Freemans are surviving — even thriving — on a farm in the middle of nowhere, so long as they repel the occasional raiding party.  Former soldier Hailey made that choice years ago, believing that isolation was the only way to protect her family. She and her partner Galen fled the collapse along with their children, training them to fight (and, yes, kill). But now Hailey’s eldest Emanuel is a young man, and when he meets a young woman Dawn played by Milcania in the forest beyond the fence, his need for human contact could place the whole family in jeopardy.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)
