Video piece for news agency The Divide is a feature documentary that portrays Isabel and Dolores´struggle to stay in the flats where they have raised their families. Both women live in a square-shaped bare brick building situated on the margins of a river, in Madrid, Spain. A room, the neighborhood, the community: an identity marked by the strong character and history of long-standing disobedience. It was 2013 when the City Council sold thousands of these Public Social Houses to speculative hedge funds. Since then, hundreds of thousands of families have been evicted from their homes. Isabel and Dolores ask their neighbors and the anti-eviction movement for help. The Divide reveals the complex reality of these merchero women, not only in their fight for a house to dwell in but also in coding their identities and establishing the community ties from the periphery they call home. Jury Award and Public Award at Documenta Madrid 2018; Best Original Script at L´Alternativa Barcelona 2018.

About Irene
I am a Spanish journalist and audiovisual producer. For the last 9 years I have been working as a video-journalist: doing interviews, filming and editing videos for Associated Press, BBC, Channel News Asia, International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) and others. I speak Spanish, fluent English and Portuguese, so I also work as a fixer and translator. I also work as a field producer and researcher. My first Documentary as director -La Grieta- was premiered in 2017 and won the Jury and the Public Awards at Documenta Madrid Festival.
