Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Distributed by Terra Nostra FilmsProduced by Daniela Contreras and Nicolas DéfosséDirected by Xun Sero2022, Streaming, 80 mins Mamá is a haunting feature-length documentary written and directed by Xun Sero. The film is a deeply personal portrait of his mother, Hilda Rodríguez Méndez, as he interviews her about her experiences as a wife, mother, and woman in her community. The film takes its time and oscillates between beautifully composed shots of rural Mexican scenery and many intimate close-ups of Méndez. The detailed shots seem to mimic the viewpoint of a small child of their mother. Conversation between Hilda and Xun centers around the long-held patriarchal structures that continue to harm women and limit roles in the family and community. Briefly Sero reflects on how, when he was younger, he mistreated his mother by internalizing his father’s harsh characterizations of her. The film discusses sensitive topics such as sexual assault and domestic violence. Through telling her story, Hilda seems to release some of the emotional burden it has held over her for years. Ultimately, she shares her heartbreaking story with a sense of pride, emphasizing the stability she found in her work and how it enabled her to support her family as a single mother. Mamá is highly recommended for programs and curriculum that focus on Women’s studies, Mexican culture, rural studies, and sexual violence.
