These include Hazte Sentir, a collaborative project led by Dieter Deswarte and the residents of Casa Miga, the first and only LGBTIQ+ refugee centre in Latin America, which sits in the middle of the Amazon, in the Brazilian city of Manaus, as well as Susy Peña’s The Breadmaker, about a Chavista collective that has stepped in to take over production at a local bakery, La Minka. Elsewhere, shorts feature everything from Cuban militants (Verde Olivo), Honduran trans woman (Victoria) and Colombian fishermen (La Pesca).
