About This Movie

Draw for Change: We Exist, We Resist is quite a striking piece within the animation genre, exploring some heavy themes surrounding femicides in Mexico. It’s not your typical animated film, that's for sure. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the gravity of Maremoto's journey to sink in. The animation style has this raw, textured feel that matches the emotional turmoil and the fight against sexism she faces. There’s a certain authenticity in the voice performances that really brings her struggle to life, making it relatable yet distressing. It’s powerful and thought-provoking, definitely a film that doesn’t shy away from tough realities while weaving in the resilience of its characters.
