After 41 girls are killed in a State-run “Safe Home” and the government refuses to act, the sisters respond with a community Comparsa - organised street performance featuring towering puppets, fire-breathing stilt walkers and thundering drums.

With brave vulnerability, they expose a system that permits and commits violence against women, and they open up about surviving violence in their own home. Their courage and determination are at the heart of this beautiful film.

‘Comparsa’ fully immerses you in the intense world of Ciudad Peronia, Guatemala. Cinematographer Edgar Tuy, a Kaqchikel Mayan filmmaker, captures all the energy and hope of their mission in bold colour. The result of a 17-year relationship between participants and the film team, this vibrant, award-winning story will ignite/re-ignite your belief in the power of youth, family and community.

Tickets £10
