You took me around thirty countries, interviewing children: from Amazonian communities to Bedouins in Palestine, Roma people in Hungary, baby monks in Tibet and Japan... Two years I spent speaking the universal language of play. After that, you brought me to record modern slavery in the Dominican Republic. Then Piplantri, a town in Rajasthan where for every baby girl born, 111 trees are planted. Then London: a Bollywood film. Also docummercials in Paris, Hamburg, Barcelona. Always coming back to feminism in Argentina.

 

You still make me feel like a child playing. It is what guides my work: the desire to understand. And see how far you let me go. I get very involved. That's where the need to narrate comes from. All these years I've been training my eyes and ears to recognize where the tension lies in your story. I learned to ask “what do I need to know?” Emphasizing not the facts, but why is it that those matter to you. I learned to earn your trust through my vulnerability. I’ve been learning how to listen. 

 

Documentary filmmaking, you’ve been tremendously generous. Thank you. 

​

Please keep talking to me.

This is only the beginning.
