Motivation letter
"Even in the year 2021, to be a woman in Latin America is to be at a disadvantage. Across the region, girls still must live under patriarchal rule that forces them to become mothers, housewives, caregivers and providers. Leaving aside, at an early age, their dreams and education. Through the story of Yayë, I try to promote the search for options and values, so that girls, boys and teens in the region can be seen beyond situations of violence or social injustice. Adolescence is a stage of definition and it is important to start building local film references that empower the viewers by sharing stories of struggle, hope and joy in the face of adversity."
