Village of Hope: La Carpio| 26mins
Director: Dana Freedman | Producer: Dana Freedman
Focus Years: 2010 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
This documentary explores the lives of eleven women who live in La Carpio, a slum located outside San Jose, Costa Rica. During my ten-month Fulbright grant, I witnessed how Gail Nystrom, the director of the Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation, give these women and their community a strength and power they did not know, in a place where the government is noticeably absent. I listened, learned, filmed and gave each woman a camera to photograph her daily life. Throughout the documentary, the women's photographs illustrate their very personal narratives. Hopefully, this film will garner awareness about La Carpio and Costa Rica. Any donation is welcome.
