| Sumario: | Patriarchal neoliberalism in Latin America has established devices of neo-extractivist domination, both in the system of production and consumption and in the symbolic sphere, with the aim of constructing a collective imaginary functional to the monolinguistic and hegemonic systemic paradigm. In the last 15 years, Latin American social cinema has become an echo of territorial environmental conflicts, favouring the self-representation of peoples against the single discourse that denies the original cosmovision in order to strip the continent of its common goods and culture. In the face of the global dispute over natural resources, this film attempts to decolonise the gaze, contrasting developmentalist models with revulsive life stories of those who struggle to achieve a society in harmony with nature, where all living beings are recognised as inter-ecodependent.
This pandemic has televised the civilisational crisis that the Abya Yala movements have been denouncing for so long. Will these audiovisual seeds be capable of placing the circular culture of the good life at the centre of the debate in order to confront the linearity of a narrative that makes us passive spectators of our own ecocide? |
