Por sus propios ojos

2008 · 80 min

A quiet, patient film that sits with the awkwardness of trying to get people to speak, and the weight of what stays unsaid.

Overview: A young woman tries to make a documentary about women who have relatives in prison, but she finds difficulties trying to get the testimonials.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest and tense. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, family, justice, identity
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
