Maria Galindo and Mujeres Creando - Revolución Puta (2022,52’)
What is the real door and what is the false door to enter the world of the prostitute with a camera? Arrive with a sign calling it sex work and with that, pay the first debt to satisfy the regulations? Arrive with a sign calling it patriarchal oppression that must be abolished, and pay the first debt to satisfy the abolitionists? Revolución puta, journeys into this universe with, through and from them, claiming a unique place of inalienable legitimacy that assumes no debt to anyone.
