Las Victorias de El Alto

Las Victorias de El Alto tells the story of three women from El Alto. United in the fight for a dignified and free life without violence, they join together in a large women's march to challenge society.

Victoria Mamani, a migrant from the countryside, reveals the discrimination she faces in the new city.
Victoria Quenta is confronted with her father's patriarchal violence every day and channels her anger in the fight for recognition of her experiences.
Victoria Morales, who feels misunderstood and harassed by her friends and society, tries to find herself in her writing.

In each of the three Victorias, we recognize social problems that are often ignored; and also the perseverance to continue the fight for a fairer world for all women.

Collective development and direction by and with: Lenia Esmirna Orellana Gomez, Maya Maxim Cahua Laura, Luis Alejandro Vasquez Aliaga, Juan Abel Cahua Laura, Janeth Apaza Jimenez, Martín Carazas Rada, Jocelyn Paola Cornejo Coronel
