Consuelo Salas

Mexico City, August 31st. It was Victoria Sala's birthday. Her mother Consuelo was waiting for her daughter to come home to celebrate. Never could she imagine that this day would change her life forever.

A set of memories, a series of readings. After two hundred years as an independent nation, Peru has many forgotten struggles in different territories and from different times. Marking the country’s bicentennial anniversary, this super 8mm film brings together activists and families in a compilation of speeches from history’s B-side. A beautiful, stirring expression of liveness, agency, resistance, and the intergenerational obligation to renew and refresh our communal commitment to rights and democracy.
