Soy mestizo

About This Movie

Soy mestizo is a haunting exploration of identity and history, weaving together the painful past of the La Plata natural sciences museum where indigenous people were once displayed as curiosities. Adriana Sosa’s direction captures a somber tone that lingers long after the credits roll. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the weight of Krygi's story to resonate. It’s not just about the skeletons on display; it’s about re-examining the ideologies that shaped a society. The documentary effectively combines interviews and archival footage, creating a rich tapestry of emotions that reflect both loss and resilience. This film stands out for its unflinching look at colonialism and its lasting scars on identity.
