Director Statement

Inspirados en la historia de Camila, prima y amiga, el documental pretendió retratar una historia que a pesar de ser común no es muy hablada: la maternidad de mujeres con discapacidad. Se utilizó un formato clásico de documental, entrevistas y audios de familiares que permitieron que la historia sea aún más significativa. El rodaje fue bastante llevadero, el único inconveniente fue la disponibilidad de tiempo de las entrevistadas, lo que disminuyó la cantidad de escenas que se lograron grabar. Sin embargo, el resultado fue bueno.

Inspired by the story of Camila, a cousin and friend, the documentary sought to portray a story that despite being common is not often talked about: motherhood of women with disabilities. We used a classic documentary format, interviews and audios of family members that allowed the story to be even more meaningful. The filming was quite easy, the only drawback was the time availability of the interviewees, which reduced the number of scenes that were recorded. However, the result was good.
