Danielle Nicole Lee delivers an inspiring documentary-style film about a young Guatemalan mother’s journey to becoming a role model in Ixoq. Questo progetto fa luce sugli standard culturali per le donne in Guatemala, compresa la discriminazione, mancanza di istruzione, e basse aspettative di cambiamento. Inoltre, affronta il preoccupante problema della malnutrizione nei bambini. Tuttavia, real change is only witnessed with the introduction of Konojel, an organization with a mission to prevent malnutrition and serve as a stepping stone for mothers to improve their lives.
Danielle Nicole Lee presents an important and highly engaging short film that explores the quest for transformation in everyday life and going beyond one’s circumstances. I found “Ixoq” to be a necessary watch for all audiences as it raises awareness about Guatemalan women and children struggling to break free from the cycle they are unfortunately trapped in.
My only criticism for this project is that I would have appreciated a bit more backstory on Konojel and further exploration of how the organization benefited other members of the community. Nonostante questo, I would still give this film a rating of 4.5 per 5 stelle.
