Cartas mojadas (Drowning Letters)
Morada Films
Director Paula Palacios has spent more than ten years addressing many of the problems that plague contemporary society, but always presented from different places than those proposed by the West. All her work seems to be a direct denunciation from the voices of those we hardly listen to or read about. Continuing with this theme, this, her latest documentary, traces the story of people who throw themselves into the sea in order to reach a destination that will provide them with a better life.
Synopsis: Cartas mojadas tells, through a mysterious voice from the bottom of the sea, the most tragic tale of our contemporary history. Following the letters exchanged between mothers and children, we accompany the Open Arms boat in its most dramatic mission: to save 550 people from shipwreck. Forgetting that this is a true story, the situation worsens when the film takes us aboard a Libyan coast guard ship and transports us to one of the most dangerous places in the world in Libya, where human beings are mistreated and enslaved.
