Existimos en la Memoria

This verite-style film thrusts us into the intimate conversations between Maria and her grandchild, Marucha: two Indigenous refugees living in displacement. Maria spent most of her life living on her ancestral homeland while Marucha has spent the 10 years of her life almost exclusively at refugee camps in Brazil. To Maria, the Venezuelan delta is her home. To Marucha, these refugee camps are all she knows. Through the rhythms of their daily lives, we witness the complexity of raising a new generation in displacement and explore how land, memory and identity are deeply intertwined.
