What do a young entrepreneur (Juan Carlos), a homeless guy (El Indio), an unemployed mother of three young children ( La Zarca), a social worker (Alejandro), a middle aged welder (Jhon) and a young street hustler (Bairon) have in common? They all believe in art as a tool for social change. They are part of the community that raises the “Monument to the Resistance”, to make themselves heard amidst chaos and violence during the social outburst of 2021 in Colombia. Initially triggered by a proposed tax reform at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, countrywide protests quickly evolve into a broad call for justice, equality and systemic change. The government's violent response leads to clashes and numerous casualties. To pressure the government into negotiations people start to organize roadblocks all over the country, and Puerto Resistencia, the entry point to the marginalized neighborhoods of eastern Cali, a place renowned for its political activism, becomes one of the most emblematic points of resistance in the country. Here, political, social and cultural awareness blossom. Driven by their dreams and hopes they raise the “Monument to the Resistance”, and the community celebrates itself. In this neglected part of town for many it is the first time to experience achievement, validation and a sense of belonging. The monument symbolizes their voice in a society that doesn‘t seem to care about them.
