Guie’dani’s Navel - Hispanic Heritage Month Film Series

Join us to watch Guie’dani’s Navel (EL Ombligo de Guie'dani (XQUIPI' GUIE'DANI)), a unique coming-of-age narrative exploring the racism inflicted on indigenous people in Mexico and the empowerment of a new generation that refuses to accept it silently. Guie’dani is a Zapotec girl dragged to Mexico City by her mother to help in her work as a housekeeper for an upper-middle-class family. There, the subtle psychological subjugation inflicted by the white family functions as a metaphor for the oppression of the old world by the new.
