“Two hundred women perform an Afro-dance choreography in the streets of Buenos Aires exorcising a past of death and disappearance. Their bodies dancing to the drums conjure the memory of other bodies who are no more. A story told by its protagonists, who through their own personal recollections weave together a people’s collective memory.

Piedra libre is sponsored by the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, and by theNational Secretariat of Human Rights. We feel very proud that the women we admire so much for their struggle to bring crimes against humanity to justice support us in this film venture. For more on Human Rights organizations and how the idea for the movie was born go to www.piedralibrepelicula.com.ar”

my best friend studied abroad in buenos aires and the co-director of this documentary was essentially her den mother for the program. they need help finishing the documentary, which deals with the emotions and politics of los desaparecidos through the narrative of dance and the dancers. 

please give even 5 dollars if you can spare. 

to learn more about the “dirty war” and the people who were disappeared, check out the wikipedia entry, here.

(also it’d be dope if you reblogged this so other people could see it and maybe help out.)
