Political activism of communal audiovisual creators in Mexico and construction of gender equality discourse.

Abstract

The article analyzes five films that address the issue of gender equity made by a group of videomakers called Ojo de Agua Communication.

Although this group lives in Oaxaca , the Mexican state with greater community tradition and Ojo de Agua Communication adopts its organization, working methods and topics covered, his documentaries, with one exception , show women as victims of the political system and their own cultures.

We attribute this circumstance to the traditional way of making films, in which the dominant voices belong to the filmmakers narrators and the experts and not women who should be the protagonists of the film speeches.
