Short filmTranscript
00:00We were 17 years old, with the innocence of the degraded trip.
00:06And that's when we realized there was evil.
00:11In Catamarca, the body of MarÃa Soledad Morales appeared.
00:17It was the first case taken as a femicide, because until that moment, the woman was always to blame.
00:24At that moment, I would have preferred that someone had shot me and not seen the body I saw of my daughter.
00:30They belong to the political power of Catamarca.
00:33Those who killed my daughter want to cover it at all costs.
00:36The police ordered the arrest of Luis Tula.
00:39If he goes to Tula's side, he is defying him.
00:42How much did they offer you?
00:43Two million dollars.
00:44It was explicit impunity.
00:47It was said that they were sons of politicians.
00:50It seems that it was customary for them to catch some Chinese, as they said.
00:56There is a need to tell everyone what we lived when we were 17 years old.
01:02We knew that we were going to go out to the street to ask for justice.
01:07I went out and the whole school was ready to go out, quiet.
01:11And all you could hear was the sound of footsteps.
01:15And there was the march of silence.
01:18And the desire that in this country, once and for all, justice reigns, which we want so much.
01:24The march was so strong that the province intervened.
01:28People in Catamarca knew a lot, but they couldn't speak.
01:32If a witness came and said something they didn't like, they would cover their mouths.
01:36It was a big role.
01:38It is his body that speaks through the autopsy reports.
01:41Believe me, whoever did this to me is stained with my blood.
01:45Maria Soledad is the symbol of what we can do today as a social struggle, women.
