La libertad

In "La libertad," a group of indigenous women in Mesoamerica gather around a traditional backstrap loom, preserving a pre-Hispanic technique passed down through generations. The film weaves together their stories and the gestures of their labor, juxtaposing domestic spaces, an archaeological museum, and a weavers' cooperative. Unfolding like a tapestry, the documentary short reveals the rich cultural heritage and resilience of these matriarchs.
