Our Bodies Are Your Battlefields

NUESTROS CUERPOS SON SUS CAMPOS DE BATALLA

Isabelle Solas’ film is a powerful, moving and urgent spotlight on the fight for trans rights across Argentina’s polarised political landscape.

An entrenched conservatism currently battles with increasing calls for women’s and trans rights in Argentina. Within this schism live Claudia and Violeta, trans women who identify as transvestites. They lead the fight, along with their comrades and supporters, against a patriarchal culture of violence and oppression. Such activism is not without its dangers; the country has recently seen a spike in the number of trans murders. But the outpouring of grief has also galvanised a wider community to close ranks in their support of individual rights – to be able to live free from prejudice and the threat of physical harm.
