About the feature: WARRIOR WOMEN

The film unveils not only a female perspective of history, but also examines the impact political struggles have on the children who bear witness. WARRIOR WOMEN is the winner of the Jury Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 22nd Cine Las Americas International Film Festival.
About the short film: ABRÁZAME
ABRÁZAME is a window into the world of children who are growing up, living inside a Bolivian prison with their mothers. Six year old Jhosselyn and her friends leave the prison on the school bus each day and escape from their reality through their games and imaginations. The film explores the way children process their lives, and predicts the dangers that are lurking for them around the corner. ABRÁZAME is the winner of the Jury Award for Best Documentary Short at the 22nd Cine Las Americas International Film Festival.
