AXOMAMA
27 min, Documentary, Canada, 2025

AXOMAMA follows the life of Alberto and his relatives, a family of potato custodians in the Andes. The film weaves a poetic parallel between the potato’s journey and the narrator’s complex tracing of her own origins. From being a sacred gift to being one of the world’s most ubiquitous foods, the humble potato emerges as both metaphor and mirror of resistance in the face of survived displacement, as the narrator grapples with questions of identity and belonging.
