Today we bring you MAMA, the documentary directed by Pablo de la Chica. In 2020, De la Chica spent almost a month in the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, in DR Congo, filming the story of Mama Zawadi, one of the centre caretakers. Her experience highlights the extreme vulnerability of women in general but especially in this country, where rape is used daily as a weapon of destruction among the population. We encourage you to watch this documentary and see how the power of care and love can help to heal wounds and create a better future. Apart from that, you will see many of the little orphans we talk about often. You will also see the human team that works there, our colleagues Itsaso Vélez del Burgo and Lorena Aguirre.
The documentary earned a nomination for a Goya in 2022, and the ceremony will take place in fifteen days. We wish them the best of luck.
In SOS Primates, we feel that we are part of this. We work selflessly from Spain to help the primate rehabilitation centres, among which the CRPL always has a significant place.
