…And screaming I will die has been awarded best documentary with the Rome Independent Film Awards, the Audience Award at the International Central American Film Festival in Vienna and the Special Mention Gender Equity at the Invisible Film Festival in Bilbao, Spain. It was also finalist for best documentary at the Ícaro Guatemala Festival.
Luis Bruzón Delgado (Madrid, 1966) has been based in Central America for 25 years, where he developed as an audiovisual producer in the field of social development and cultural anthropology.
The event will be welcomed by Moisés Morera Martín, director of programming at Casa de América, and Marlon Brevé Reyes, ambassador of Honduras to Spain. There will be a colloquium after the screening with the director and Maika Ávila, a journalist specialized in education and gender perspective of the digital area of the Cadena Ser.
María Felicita López is a young indigenous woman from the Lenca region of La Paz, in western Honduras. His life is marked by the struggle for human rights. As leader of the Indigenous Independent Movement Lenca de La Paz-Honduras (MILPAH), he raises his voice against large infrastructure projects by companies that intend to exploit the natural resources of their territory with the complicity of the State. As a woman, she promotes gender equality, the dignity of indigenous women and the eradication of male-dominated violence, which she herself suffered. She is not intimidated by death threats in an environment of deep conflict. She will continue to cry as long as she lives, seeking only one goal: justice.
Free admission until the capacity of 60 seats is reached. Tickets will be distributed one hour before the start of the screening.
