Mulheres: Uma outra história

During the 1970s, filmmaker Maria Luiza d'Aboim was part of the Brazilian Women's Center (CMB), a feminist organization that established a forum to reflect on the role of women in society. The lack of daycare facilities and the urgent need for public infrastructure to support working mothers were recurring topics of discussion at the center. "Creche-Lar," the director's first film, documents the search for practical solutions, as implemented by an experimental community project in Vila Kennedy, Rio de Janeiro, which employed local community mothers and compensated them with money, food, and household goods. The film was considered lost for thirty years until the original 16mm material was discovered at the Brazilian Cinematheque and subsequently digitized.
