In a world crushed by pollution, conflict, ecological anxiety, alienation of the individual and fear of the future, a human being lies down, desperate and surrounded by shadows. However, the “anger” and refusal of the disaster to come will ignite in him – and in all of us – a flame of life, carrying the hope of a better tomorrow

In the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau, this thought-provoking film takes you on a journey that follows courageous local women who challenge patriarchy by building institutions that promote self-sufficiency through agro-ecology. They also challenge social norms by opposing female genital mutilation and rejecting forced marriage. Overtaking the legacy of Amilcar Cabral, the Bissau-Guinean independence leader who placed women’s rights at the centre of the liberation struggle, women of a rising generation are taking back their power.

The process of a cooperative housing community in Barcelona, the construction of a building and also of a community. A struggle for decent housing against urban extractivism and for human rights linked to habitat.
In 2016, Barcelona City Council allocated plots of land for cooperative housing projects. One of these plots is awarded in the transfer of use to Sostre Civic, 27 subsidised housing units in the Roquetes neighbourhood. The Cirerers driving group was constituted in September 2017. The documentary is the record of the experience

Building inclusive societies requires revising school systems, in which part of the student body does not fit in, is mistreated and segregated, while the rest learn to see discrimination as something correct and desirable.
Based on the story of Rubén Calleja, who was expelled from his primary school and forced to attend a special education centre, the documentary weaves together lives and struggles. After years of legal battle, Rubén obtains the backing of the UN against the Spanish state. But there are other gains to be made in transforming discriminatory school cultures, policies and practices. Inclusive education is a personal and collective task, which enables the participation of all people in the world

“Until the sun goes out” invites us into the stories of those who have defied the clutches of violence by demonstrating that the human spirit can prevail, leaving a legacy of hope in the midst of the deepest darkness. The stories unfold in the simultaneity of the opposite: life born out of death, and death as a result of devotion to peace and justice. It is the story of Nobel Peace Prize nominee Luz Marina, a mother fighting for justice in the extrajudicial execution of her son, and that of Albeiro, an indigenous leader from south-western Colombia. The ancestral indigenous saying “Until the sun goes out” is reflected in the uncompromising struggle of both leaders for a world where life prevails over death, equality over inequality, and the voice of the people over imposed silence. But their stories also reflect a condition of humanity, where the beauty of life and resistance fall to death and destruction

On discovering the existence of a lonko (chief) called Mankewenüy (friend of the condor) who lived on the banks of the Nahuel Huapi in 1790, Anahí decides to make a journey through the Andes and retrace the paths taken by her ancestors. As a ñampulkafe and ülkantufe (traveller and singer) Anahí goes in search of sounds and stories that allow her to create songs that contain the newen of the manke (natural force of the condor).
During this journey she meets poets, singers, instrument makers, machis (spiritual leaders); to let us hear in them volcanoes that speak, mountains that sound and rivers that sing

In 1993, thousands of Guatemalan refugees returned from Mexico. They fled armed conflict and genocide against the indigenous Mayan population. Today, ‘Los Regresados’ are defending their agricultural land and territory in the jungle of Alta Verapaz against the construction of a hydroelectric dam. They draw on their past experiences to mobilise new generations.
‘Los Retornados’ is a film by Tessa Boeykens and Pieter De Vos, in collaboration with the Copal AA La Esperanza community.

Poverty or homelessness is not a characteristic of anyone, but a situation that can be brought about by many factors. There are many new forms of poverty, ranging from university students to people who have jobs but do not earn enough to afford housing or parents who suddenly find themselves unemployed. No one is safe from poverty or homelessness. All it takes is a series of adverse circumstances.
The documentary Nadie está lejos (No One is Far Away) is the experience of a group of people living in poverty, homelessness or economic vulnerability and, in particular, users of the PARIS 365 soup kitchen in Iruña, who participate with the company Ados Teatroa in the creative process of the show Aporofobia STOP.

Judith is not called Judith. She changed her name for the better by fitting in with our country, but that is not the hardest thing she has done since she had to leave Nigeria when she was only 10 years old. Like her, Marouane and Youssef had to leave Morocco and everything they knew to escape extreme poverty when they were still minors.
Until that journey, the stories of the three young people had little in common. When they arrived in Spain, however, they found themselves part of the same group: Unaccompanied Foreign Minors (MENA).
El Qui soc explores the reality behind an acronym that the media has turned into a label linked to criminal acts, marginalisation and criminality.

The members of the “Coordination of Women of the Diocese of San Cristobal” (CODIMUJ) in Chiapas, Mexico, are women who bring the Word of God to rural and indigenous communities. In an extremely patriarchal society, these women have to fight for their most basic rights, but even within the Church there is prejudice against these activists working for equality. Thirty years after its foundation, the women of CODIMUJ are still determined to change the church from within until radical equality between men and women is achieved, with all the consequences that this entails.
