Begun with a series of vertical photo tilts of Maria’s house, an animated scanning (let’s not leave anything out!), this house movie contains the entire history of Panama as we watch it slowly empty out. The walls just outside the front door kept the whites safe from roving pirates, and while Maria and her family cleaned their houses and cooked their meals, even helped build the Panama Canal, their colour and class ensured they would live outside protections. Maria’s hard working social conscience helped her become elected, and as she brings us out into the streets she is greeted by neighbours, their warmth a testament to a lifetime of activism and care.
