Nuestras madres (2019)
16KNuestras madres: Directed by Cesar Diaz. With Armando Espitia, Emma Dib, Aurelia Caal, Julio Serrano Echeverría. Ernesto is a young anthropologist in Guatemala. One day, while hearing the account of an old woman, he thinks he has found a lead that might guide him to his father, a “guerrillero” who went missing during the war.
“Its important to watch movies like this to remember that this war against the people was partly funded by American dollars but very few people knew or cared that it was going on. Apparently that is still true. The young man is helping his people because he has lived that tragedy and because he feels for the women who have lost everything. His mother went through unbearable torture and survived. Thatu0026#39;s what this film is about, the survival of the women and the difficult investigations to find the bones of their families. Anyone who gave it low reviews because it lacked a story has not lived through tragedy now do they want to hear about it.”
