Synopsis:

In the heart of José León Suárez, the community library La Carcova stands as a pillar of identity and culture in a neighborhood marked by inequality. Through the voices of its founders, workshop facilitators, and children, this documentary portrays community resistance and the transformative power of education and art. A testimony to the importance of collective spaces in building memory and belonging.

Curatorial note:

When a story is told from the inside, you can tell. And this short film proves just that. La Carcova neither stigmatizes nor victimizes: it shows things as they are. It shows how a neighborhood identity is woven, and who holds it up—and how—with no pretensions and with plenty of conviction.
