Experiencing Interruptions?

TALKA (Crash, Choque)

Talka means crash, collision. A crash between systems that traps in the middle the women in Peru. But it is also a wave in the water, a motion in the system that expands unstoppable. Women that reached Feminism through social fights, forming associations that still generate changes, waves, years after. In this work we talk with some of these fighters trying to understand the situation of the Peruvian women in this system collision where she's had to blossom.

Director Statement

This short film is an spontaneous project that arose as a result of our concern to tell what we saw in a trip to Peru, trying to make our own contribution in favour of the fight for Equality that so many women and men are trying to achieve in Peru and all over the World.
