Synopsis
How to make a film about an event for which there are no moving images? In my search to make a project about Ecuador's largest worker's strike, which ended in the massacre of hundreds or thousands of workers in 1922 (and of which there are no moving images), I turn to other work from that same year. Inspired by Hito Steyerl's essay "In Defense of the Poor Image", this found-footage essay-film reclaims the "poor image" in the context of past and present class struggles in Ecuador.
