Antigua Guatemala

Antigua Guatemala means "Old Guatemala" and was the third capital of Guatemala, formerly called "Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala". Now it is known simple, as Antigua. I had the privilege to living and studying in this amazing city for a few months in 2019 and 2020. This 9 minutes long film is made out of short videos I took while staying there. The central part of the town feels like a fairy tale location. Of course, if you live there, especially if you are one of the Mayan people, your life may not feel like a fairy tale at all. "Guatemala has a population of 14.9 million people, of which 6.5 million (43.75%) belong to the 22 Mayan (Achi’, Akatec, Awakatec, Chalchitec, Ch’ortí, Chuj, Itzá, Ixil, Jacaltec, Kaq- chikel, K’iche, Mam, Mopan, Poqomam, Poqomchí, Q’anjob’al, Q’eqchí, Sakapultec, Sipakapense, Tektitek, Tz’utujil and Us- pantek), one Garífuna, one Xinca and one Creole or Afro-descendant peoples. The country still lacks a differentiated statistical base on Indigenous Peoples, especially on Indigenous women, but it is well-known that there are disparities between the Indigenous and the non-indigenous population in employment, income, health, and education. Statistics clearly demonstrate persistent racism and discrimination against Indigenous Peoples." (Quote from the website of IWGIA - International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs)
