Mother, Country (El PaΓ­s De Mi Madre) β€” Alborada Films

Just saw Mother, Country (el paΓ­s de mi madre) @starandshadow.bsky.social alboradafilms.net/films/origin... A powerful documentary about Chilean exiles, family, friendship, and keeping on keeping on in tough times. The central interviewee, Cristina Godoy Navarrete, is extraordinary. I recommend.
