Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo (1985). The movie follows the struggle of the Mothers of the Plaza of Mayo, a group of mothers who challenged authorities during the repressive regime in Argentina (1976-1983), trying to discover the whereabouts of their missing sons, taken by the regime.

Makes for a pretty exceptional double feature with The Official Story. Compelling, harrowing and insightful look at the abducted children of Argentina and the mothers still trying to bring them home. 7/10.

i'm in the middle of reading sins of the son and i'm so incredibly inspired by your writing style!! i love the dialogue so much, it's so natural and your characters have amazing chemistry :) i wanted to ask if you have any inspirations? i'd love to get book recs lol

Hi, this is so kind, thank you so much! Fun fact about my writing is that once I know my plot I actually write out my dialogue like a script first and then fill in the rest of the story around it. Anyways this is gonna be a super long answer so I'm focusing on literary inspo/books, but I'm happy to talk more about my non-literary inspirations for sins of the son too! Just lmk.

In my non-online life I actually mainly write poetry, so that's where I draw a lot of inspiration from in terms of style. I love Ada Limón's poetry (Bright Dead Things is my favorite collection of hers, but I would highly recommend The Hurting Kind and The Carrying as well) because her structure resonates so deeply with me: if she poses a question in the first line then she answers it by the end. And she's deeply strategic about imagery. If there's a cat in the poem then that cat means something. I definitely tried to bring that same strategy into sins of the son. If there's a strong image in the first section then I try to work that into the last section too (like the sept in part 1).

Other poets I really love are Hanif Abdurraqib, Anne Carson, Natalie Diaz, and Rainer Maria Rilke.

In terms of prose that I like, Manuel Muñoz's The Consequences is one of the most beautiful short story collections I've ever read. I specifically love how he writes character & location and intertwines those two. Definitely another thing that pops up in my work--I like the setting to feel like its own character. He also writes incredible dialogue. One of his stories (I don't have my book with me rn & can't recall the title) ends with a character saying "Men don't know how to suffer." Which, in the context of the story, is just devastating. I think of that line a lot when I write because it feels like the pinnacle of really earning a solid, powerful line of dialogue.

Also love Carmen Maria Machado's work, she writes through a very magical realism/slightly surreal lens in both her fiction (Her Body and Other Parties) and nonfiction (In the Dream House).

Other books that weren't fic inspo that I'd highly recommend:

-The Incendiaries by R.O. Kwon (themes of religion&guilt do sort of tie in)

-Bone Gap by Laura Ruby (sort of a Hades & Persephone retelling but midwestern gothic & so deeply interesting)

-How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu (spec fic, masterful, I sobbed)

I hope this gives you some potential reading material! Thank you for reading my darling little fic, I hope you enjoy the rest of it 💚💚💚

18.  America Chavez aka Miss America - biracial; Afro-Puerto Rican Caribbean

19.  Carmen Cruz aka Gimmick - biracial; Afro-Latina

20. Laura Kinney aka Wolverine - biracial; Afro-Latina and half white; her exact ethnicity is unknown but first appearance (in the animated X-Men: Evolution series) depicts her with dark skin and her “mother” had darker skintone with blonde hair. Her creators didn’t specify her ethnicity but I do think she’s Hispanic. And given the darker skintone of her “mother”, she’s most likely Afro-Latina. I know in recent comic adaptation portray her with way lighter skin tone but her ORIGINAL appearance shows her with DARKER skintone (thought not as dark as her “mother”). As such, I have seen Laura as half white and half Afro Latina but the Hispanic nationality is unknown. Also, as a side note, her creators also mentioned they planned to do a LGBT storyline with Laura but it was axed. So, she’s also LGBT.

21. Cecilia Reyes - Puerto Rican and depicted with dark-skinned complexion

22. Roberto da Costa aka Sunspot - biracial; Afro-Brazilian 

23. Armando Munoz aka Darwin - biracial; Afro-Latino; Hispanic nationality unknown

Juana Barraza

Other Names: 

Mataviejitas ( Little Old Lady Killer) and La Dama del Silencio (The Lady of Silence)

Childhood and Adolescence  

Juana Barraza was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico on December 27, 1957.  Barraza's mother,  Justa Samperio, was a stay at home mom but was an alcoholic.  Juana grew up in poverty, North of Mexico City, and had never learned to read or write much.  The main source of trauma in Juana’s life, it seems, was her mother, Barraza  didn’t really know her biological father.  When she was about thirteen her mother reportedly exchanged her for three beers to a man, Jose Lugo.   He would repeatedly raped her in his care, and by whom she became pregnant with a son.  Lugo tied her to his bed, and would continually rape her over and over, even when she had an abortion, or when she gave birth to a son.  After five years, her uncles finally found her and rescued her.  It turned out, Juana’s mother had been lying to the rest of the family this entire time, saying that Juana had just left with her rapist of her own free will.  

Adult Life  

Barraza finally left for Mexico City after her mother died of cirrhosis. She underwent several failed marriages, from which she had four children. Her firstborn died in a gang related shooting when he was 24 years old.  During the 1980s and 1990s, Barraza held a variety of jobs.  She also toured central Mexico as a masked wrestler named La Dama del Silencio ("The Lady of Silence"), which was  an alias she chose in reference to her own shy, silent personality.  After the birth of her fourth child in 1995,  she was short of cash, she began to steal items from shops and later evolved to burglarizing homes.  In 1996, she came up with a plan with a friend, Araceli Tapia Martínez, to steal from the elderly.  The two of them dressed up in white clothes and pretended to be nurses.  They did this  in order to gain access to the homes of elderly people living alone.  The two continued robbing them once they were inside, however, Tapia was also in a relationship with a corrupt Federal Police officer, Moisés Flores Domínguez, and they concocted a parallel plan to extort Barraza.  Flores met Barraza after a burglary that she had committed alone and he demanded 12,000 pesos in return for not arresting her.  In 2000, Barraza retired from wrestling, where she earned 300 to 500 pesos per fight, and her situation became desperate.  This is when her crimes began to become more violent and rash.  

Crimes

From the years 2002 to 2006, Juana Barraza continued her burglaries but she began stabbing, strangling, and murdering those whose houses she was breaking into.  It is suspected that she had been responsible for as many as 40 deaths.  All of Barraza's victims were women aged 60 or over, most of whom lived alone.  She would bludgeon or strangle her victims, and afterward would rob them.  It is said that Barraza would pose as a social worker or nurse offering medical services to earn the victims' trust and gain access to their homes without forced entry.

January 25, 2006

Ana María de los Reyes Alfaro, 84, strangled with a stethoscope. 

Arrest and Capture 

Relying on eyewitnesses and the nature of the crimes, Mexican police believed their suspect was a cross-dressing man or transgender male with broad shoulders, large hands, and a muscular build.  Under intense pressure from the media and concerned residents, authorities incorrectly arrested several innocent people, including a nurse, a slew of transgender men, and prostitutes who they believed resembled the suspect.  By late 2005, the number of deaths linked to the serial strangler reached 47.  Mexican officials had no leads or potential suspects.  The  Governor of Mexico City, Alexandro Encinas,  reached out to the National Autonomous University of Mexico neuropsychologist Dr. Feggy Ostrosky to study the murders.  It wasn’t until January 25, 2006, when there was a break in the case when Barraza was seen by a tenant as she left the murder scene of landlady Ana María de los Reyes Alfaro.  She ended up being arrested by a passing police patrol. Though Barraza was illiterate, a search of her home found a trophy room with newspaper clippings of the murders.  The police also found objects taken from the victims and an altar to Jesús Malverde and Santa Muerte.  These were two folk saints commonly venerated by Mexican criminals. 

Trial and Conviction 

In 2008, Barraza was tried for 30 murders and was found guilty of 16 of them.  She admitted to one murder, that of Alfaro, and told the police her motive was lingering resentment regarding her own mother's treatment of her.  Aside from the murders she was also involved in 12 robberies. The convictions were mostly for murders she could be tied to through fingerprint evidence. Barraza was sentenced to 759 years in prison, but she will be paroled regardless in 2058, at the age of 100.

Where is Barraza Now?

Barraza received multiple long sentences, all of which adds up to 759 years if served consecutively, but if they are served simultaneously, it’s possible she wouldn’t spend more than 60 years in prison. This is the highest sentence ever given to a criminal in Mexico.  She was sentenced at 51 years old, so it’s unlikely she’d be alive after 60 years behind bars.  In 2015, Barraza married fellow inmate Miguel Ángel, a 74-year-old man who was serving a sentence for murder in the men's sector of the Santa Martha de Acatitla prison.  The marriage lasted only a year after they met just three times.  Barraza now sells tacos in the prison courtyard to support her family and works as a gym instructor.   One of her main activities at the prison is walking older women around.

Entrevista con Lucero Ek, creadora de "Nuevo Cine Yucateco"

Las producciones audiovisuales en el estado de Yucatán son más visibles gracias a la creación de nuevos espacios de proyección. Estos puntos de encuentro han tenido buena recepción por parte de la comunidad cinéfila y por los mismos realizadores. Tuvimos la oportunidad de entablar una conversación en línea con Lucero Ek, licenciada en Comunicación Social de la Facultad de Ciencias Antropológicas de la UADY, que desde un interés por hacer cine y por la preocupante falta de espacios de exhibición, empezó un proyecto en el 2022 llamado “Nuevo cine yucateco”. En un principio fue “una muestra virtual”, esto con la idea de que sea accesible para todo el público, sin tener que salir de casa, consiguiendo hasta la fecha un acervo yucateco de cortometrajes experimentales, documentales y ficciones.

Sabemos que es complicado mantener un proyecto desde una categoría independiente ¿Qué ha sido difícil de mantener en un proyecto con esta característica? “Quitarse la pena, y tener confianza, me preocupaba realizar un proyecto así, sin tener experiencia o trayectoria que pueda difundir localmente”

En Mérida, hay propuestas similares como Cine Colectivo, Salón Gallos o por instituciones de gobierno, ¿Qué es lo que te diferencia de estos espacios? "Mayormente, estos espacios muestran películas comerciales, Salón Gallos si tiene muestras locales de vez en cuando, pero siento que Nuevo Cine Yucateco, difunde totalmente lo local, así como películas que se hacen acá, que se graban acá y de cineastas que están empezando y ya consolidados."

Fernando Solanas propuso un concepto llamado “tercer cine”, en donde sugiere crear un cine independiente, que contraponga el cine de masas, que tiene un estilo Hollywoodense. ¿Crees de alguna manera que este proyecto se mantenga en esta línea?, ¿Y qué aspectos has considerado para llegar a más gente que acostumbra a ver cine de Hollywood? "Aquí en Mérida no hay una industria cinematográfica, así que la línea del proyecto se mantendrá igual. He pensado en llegar a otros municipios, pero en general el proyecto ha tenido bastante apoyo y se ha evolucionado de manera orgánica. Y tal vez, en un futuro, crear un programa de distribución"

La universidad de las Artes de Yucatán empezará una Licenciatura en Cine, ¿Cómo ves el futuro del proyecto con respecto a que las instituciones abrirán nuevos espacios para mostrar cortometrajes? "No creo que el proyecto tenga algún cambio, estará completamente abierto para que los estudiantes puedan enviar sus cortometrajes como parte de las muestras"

¿Hay alguna curaduría al momento de realizar las muestras? La convocatoria está completamente abierta para principiantes y profesionales. "No hay una curaduría real, depende de los cortos que se envíen, se desarrolla una línea narrativa para ser proyectado. Pero está totalmente abierto"

Y para finalizar, podrías mencionarnos directores, directoras o realizadores que se encuentran activos actualmente. "Andrea Pacheco, directora de Bailando Somos. Mary Carmen, que es directora de foto, Andrea Buenfin, Stephanía Pérez, David Igneas e Ito Muñoz."
