Bodies in Crisis

Cuerpos en Crisis


In the midst of a deep social conflict the filmmaker, a blind disability rights advocate living in Canada, returns to her native Chile to follow five activists through the country’s constitutional process of 2020-2022. The five activists –who come from the disability, migrant, sex and gender diversities and prisoners’ rights movements– tell the story, and members of the Constitutional Convention including three powerful indigenous women complement this narrative. By weaving these stories together, the filmmaker powerfully traces the intersections of gender, disability and Indigeneity in today’s ongoing struggles for dignity and human rights.
