Big Eddy Film Festival: Map of Latin American Dreams

  • Narrowsburg Union 7 Erie Avenue Narrowsburg, NY 12764 USA (map)

NEW YORK IN-PERSON PREMIERE

Map of Latin American Dreams

Between 1992 and 2013, director Martín Weber traveled around Latin America and photographed various people while asking them to write down their dreams. Several years later, Weber and his camera return to meet the same people once more to see if their dreams have come true. Most of the people we meet have fallen victim to injustices committed by dictatorships, military juntas, and other failed governments in various Latin American countries. Here are tales of vanished brothers and violence, poverty, and lost hope, but also touching reunions for the renowned photographer Weber.
