Both films screened last Thursday in Casa de Colón were filmed in Mexico and released in 2021. Both feature women protagonists; both talk about femicide. So not an easy watch.
Tierra
a film by Gustavo GameroThis short film is a fiction that strikes you as a true story, thanks to the masterfully understated performance by Ángeles Cruz.
Luchadoras
a film by Paola Calvo and Patrick JasimCiudad Juárez, Mexico. Maybe not the most dangerous city in the world in terms of homicide (as they claim in the film), but certainly in the top ten. Not a nice place to be a woman. The title of the documentary refers both to the sport its heroines practice — lucha libre — but also their determination to fight for their rights. Starring Baby Star, Little Star, Mini Sirenita, Lady Candy and Miss Kath.
