Plan de Sánchez (2018)

The AHRC funded Reparations, Responsibility and Victimhood in Transitional Societies explored the practice and understanding of meaning of redressing the past with victims, ex-combatants and governments in six countries emerging from conflict. These included issues of symbolic means making, informal and indigenous cosmovisions and the power dynamics of perpetrators and responsible actors in making amends for their wrongdoing. The project also examined the intersections of gender, displacement, age, disability and race in how some victims are marginalised from reparation processes.’

As part of the project we visited the community of Plan de Sánchez in Guatemala in May 2018. The film captures our interactions with the community.
