Director Statement

Cacique Nalá is an indigenous Qom woman who fights to defend her worldview. In the documentary I seek to make indigenous peoples visible and for viewers to recognize and see that a large part of the population that surrounds them is indigenous. In parallel, I want to make room in the cinematographic medium for women since the heads of the film's audiovisual team are professionals who create content with the resources we have. The aim is to realistically represent the places that the protagonist inhabits, merging the public with the spaces and narrative through hand-held camera, natural lighting and direct sound. The original music on guitar and flute represents duality, emulating the warrior and reflective spirit of Nalá.
