Article in the Directa on “Fem cumó, un altre camí”

Don’t miss Guille Larios’s article in the Directa on the documentary “Fem cumó, un altre camí” (“Doing cumó: another way”):

Restituir l’ànima comunal a les valls del Prepirineu

“In a small Pre-Pyrenees village named Sapeira, within the municipality of Tremp (Pallars Jussà), traces of a communal past persist, resisting disappearance and forgetting. Situated at 1,073 metres altitude, atop a ridge separating two valleys – Esplugafreda and Solà – the village was once the capital of a municipal district that included several smaller settlements in the region.”

“Through interviews, communal working days and workshops in the village, the film recovers dialogues, stories and new collective imaginaries. The documentary, twenty minutes long, ‘immerses us in the beauty and fragility of a rural world that was socially and culturally dismantled years ago, while opening questions about the future of communal assets and the potential of grassroots structures as an act of justice and social transformation’, as Usnea explains in the documentary synopsis.”
