In my documentary "Where to go" I tried to influence the behavior of the characters as little as possible. This is also true for the interviews, I wanted people to express themselves freely. The result is a moving film in which we witness the first-person testimonies of battered women, mothers and their vital struggle against an almost structural gender and family violence. All the characters complement each other, reinforce each other and at the same time send a common message to women who live the same reality of abuse. For me, it is important that the film has diverse voices because I think it is up to Bolivian society to confront this evil in a communitarian way. Although it is impossible to see through the eyes of the other, I was interested in seeing the situation of each character and understanding their visions of the future through their own eyes, with the aim of letting the viewer draw their own conclusions. The professionals who help them offer not only an analysis of the situation, but also projects that have arisen from the needs of the situations of these people as victims, and not only as mothers, but also as women, and the struggle to change the spiral of violence within the community, so that their children will have a better future, with respect and without violence.
