Our Story

Manovuelta works on different types of community based media production with indigenous communities, immigrant communities, and communities of color both in the US and in Mexico.  For our first Indiegogo project, we are proposing a documentary film that is in the middle of production, about a young indigenous woman from Oaxaca, Mexico who is an absolutely amazing and conscious hip hop artist.

The Film is call Cuando Una Mujer Avanza - (When a Woman Takes a Step Forward) and it is a documentary film about "Mare" an indigenous hip hop artist from Oaxaca, Mexico.  Mare is medicine for the devaluating experiences  of many young women of color today.  As a young native Zapotec MC born in Oaxaca City, her unique life experience is a rarely heard perspective on life and community liberation.  As an up and coming MC in a state known for popular and indigenous rebellion, Mare's life and experience has been channeled into very powerful and conscious rapping and singing.

The Impact
Manovuelta has contributed to these type of independent community based documentaries for the last 4 years, and together we have developed strategies for touring the films, distributing them, and and ensuring the films directly benefit the community members that the films are about.  No matter what happens we will, finish this film, and it will be screened and distributed through our current networks. 

What is exciting to us about Indiegogo is reaching a much broader audience, amplifying our distribution network, and developing new strategies to help our films get out there, and truly benefit the community members we work with.  Recently we have been depending a lot on University honorariums as our only funding source, however this source is clearly drying up.  So Indiegogo is an attempt at seeing if our networks and the Indiegogo network can help continue to push our film projects a little further along together, by giving a lot of different people the ability to support from far away.  

What We Need & What You Get

We are trying to raise at least $4000 dollars to help offset some of the costs of tour travel for Mare and myself to the US, and distribution costs, and we hope recover some of  the costs of the film production it self.  We are offering a wide variety of Perks for folks interested in supporting this particular film project which are listed below.  You know you want to come to Oaxaca!!!
