In the words of Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez, Latin America’s “solitude” lies in the limits of conventional means to convey the complexities of the continent’s “outsized reality.” This series showcases Latin American filmmakers who capture this “outsized reality” and its commonalities and foreignness to the Northern gaze, conveying a universal, relatable human experience in which the ghosts of violence past haunt attempts at remembering, forgetting and forgiving, with an unlikely yet familiar outcome: relentless hope.
