Wainitai: Finding Yourself

Pablo García-Vizcarra / Spain, Peru / 2025 / 20 min

14-year-old Jarumi is growing up in the indigenous Awajún community in the Amazon. Her life is defined by tradition and the duties expected of her, while the boys are granted freedoms denied to the girls. Surrounded by nature, memory, and imagination, she creates her own world through drawing. In this quiet space, she begins to wonder if there is a place where she can simply be herself, free from roles and expectations.
