Overview

The memory of an Afro-Chilean family is permeated by the memory of Rosa Corvacho (1921-2011), their grandmother and matriarch, awakening in them a process of regression, where the bodies, voices and family gestures reactivate the denied history of Black Chile, such as Chileanization, the whitening policies of the north of the country and how these families lived in the daily life of the 20th century.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meditative excavation of suppressed Afro-Chilean history through the presence of a matriarch's memory, where family voices and gestures become acts of reclamation. The film moves between past and present to restore what systemic whitening policies worked to erase.
