A SPECIAL MOVIE ON A SPECIAL DAY - TAKE MY EYES (TE DOY MIS OJOS)



Te doy mis ojos was shot in 2003 in Spain. The director is Iciar Bolain. The protagonists are Pilar,  played by Laia Marull, and her violent husband, Antonio aka Luis Tosar.

A CRUCIAL ISSUE

Aggressiveness is the main cause of death and invalidity for women between 15-44. “Take my eyes" is focused on this. Pilar and Antonio are surrounded by people who are involved in their dramatic story. A mother who justifies the situation, a sister who doesn't understand deeply and a son who sees everything and doesn't say anything. Their relationship is a mixture of love, fear, dominance.

THE WOMEN’S MARCH


The Women's March took place on 21 January in Washington DC., the day after Donald Trump inaugurated his time at the White House as the new US President. A march to protest for their rights, to raise awareness of women's rights and other civil rights that are thought to be under attack by the new president Donald Trump. It was such a huge march that it will be remembered as one of the most significant events in American history.
