Danielle Nicole Lee delivers an inspiring documentary-style film about a young Guatemalan mother’s journey to becoming a role model in Ixoq. Bu proje Guatemala'daki kadınlara yönelik kültürel standartlara ışık tutuyor, ayrımcılık dahil, eğitim eksikliği, ve değişime yönelik düşük beklentiler. Ayrıca, çocuklarda yetersiz beslenme sorununu ele alıyor. Ancak, real change is only witnessed with the introduction of Konojel, an organization with a mission to prevent malnutrition and serve as a stepping stone for mothers to improve their lives.
Danielle Nicole Lee presents an important and highly engaging short film that explores the quest for transformation in everyday life and going beyond one’s circumstances. I found “Ixoq” to be a necessary watch for all audiences as it raises awareness about Guatemalan women and children struggling to break free from the cycle they are unfortunately trapped in.
My only criticism for this project is that I would have appreciated a bit more backstory on Konojel and further exploration of how the organization benefited other members of the community. Buna rağmen, I would still give this film a rating of 4.5 dışında 5 yıldızlar.
