Maya es la voz de quienes han perdido a sus padres por la violencia, quienes lloran, quienes pasaron al descuido de la memoria, quienes sueñan con no ser olvidados y de quienes no pueden regresar a su país. Una niña, una esperanza, un futuro que busca y seguirá buscando respuestas en el mar.
GONE WITH THE SEA
LO QUE EL MAR SE LLEVÓ
It was the centerpiece of the Dialogue for Peace and Justice Forum, the short film “Gone with the Sea” written and directed by Rebeca Alemán, which represents the inspiration for using art to educate and inspire social change as it tells a story about victims of violence in Latin America, United States and the entire world. “Gone with the Sea” was created in memoriam of Mónica Spear, a young actress and her husband whose lives were taken by violence leaving a 5-year-old daughter behind. This short film gives a voice to their little girl Maya, and all children who have lost parents and other family members as a result of violence across the world including local criminality, terrorism and war.
