We Are Always Walking

About This Movie

We Are Always Walking offers a raw glimpse into the lives of three Chatino migrant women—Alberta, Julia, and Catalina—struggling to carve out a living on the Oaxacan coast. The documentary has this almost tangible sense of displacement; you really feel the weight of their experiences. The pacing's reflective, allowing moments of silence that hang in the air, underscoring their challenges. The performances feel genuine, as if you’re eavesdropping on their daily lives. It’s not just about the grind of survival but also about resilience in the face of discrimination. The practical effects of their harsh working conditions are portrayed with a stark honesty that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
