Now that We Are Together

(Ahora que estamos juntas)
Patricia Balderas Castro | Documentary

2022 | 82 minutes | Mexico

Patricia joins feminist protests and, through solidarity, self-defense, and shared joy, discovers that unity in a violent world can be revolutionary.

Synopsis

After an unexpected encounter with a group of women determined to reclaim the streets, Patricia embarks on an intimate yet collective journey to confront the violence she has experienced.

Against the backdrop of resurgent feminist protests, she delves into her own history, her mother's past, and the stories of the women she fights alongside. Together, they discover that in a violent world, unity, self-defense, and the preservation of joy are acts of revolution.

Through this process, Patricia finds empowerment in collective action and realizes that solidarity and shared strength can transform the experience of violence into a source of resilience and hope
