Amando a Martha
Daniela López Osorio / 2023 / Colombia-Argentina / 75 min.
Synopsis: After 39 years of abuse that Martha endured in her marriage to Amando, she continues to bear family pressures to spend time with him even after having divorced 15 years ago. In complicity with her granddaughter Daniela, they decide to confront the family with a diary and four cassette tapes that reveal her story. With her letters and personal memoirs, Martha finds the strategies to reaffirm her determination and free herself from silence. She is an example of dignity and strength that aims to inspire other women so that her story is not repeated.
After the screening, Daniela López, director of the film; Sara Nanclares, producer; and Vanessa Giraldo, feminist psychologist, converse.
