Project Report | May 30, 2019
Video and construction of a media campaign

By Maria Silvia Emanuelli | Project leader

After several months of work, finally today we have the final version of the video (see at: https://vimeo.com/305623662) that describe the struggle of organized settlers of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (Oaxaca) to rebuild their habitat, greatly affected by the earthquake that Mexico suffered in 2017,. These are people who, for the most part, have not received government support and have been able to rebuild their homes through social production of their habitat with the support of HIC member organizations. Meanwhile, we have not stopped influencing the authorities to reinforce this type of habitat production focused on the human being and in a respectful relationship with nature. In recent weeks, we also took the first steps in the construction of a media campaign that, based on the video, will support us in the promotion of a new public policy of prevention and reconstruction that covers the real needs of those affected. The campaign will be launched in the month of September for the 2nd anniversary of the earthquakes. The video already has English subtitles and is being translated into Ikoots language and will soon be screened in the communities that participated in it.

Después de varios meses de trabajo, finalmente hoy contamos con la versión final del video (míralo pero sin difundirlo ya que no se ha lanzado. en https://vimeo.com/305623662 contraseña HIC) que relata la lucha de pobladores organizados del Istmo de Tehuantepec (Oaxaca), muy afectado por los temblores que México sufrió en 2017, por reconstruir su hábitat. Se trata de personas que en su mayoría no han recibido apoyos gubernamentales y más bien han podido reconstruir sus viviendas por producción social del hábitat a través del apoyo de organizaciones miembros de HIC. Mientras tanto, no hemos dejado de incidir en las autoridades para que refuercen este tipo de producción del hábitat centrada en el ser humano y en una relación de respeto con la naturaleza.  En las últimas semanas además, dimos los primeros pasos en la construcción de una campaña de medios que, a partir del video, nos apoye en la promoción de una nueva política pública de prevención y reconstrucción que cubra las verdaderas necesidades de l@s damnificad@s. La campaña será lanzada en el mes de septiembre para el 2 aniversario de los sismos. El video ya cuenta con subtítulos al inglés y está siendo traducido a la lengua Ikoots y pronto se proyectará en las comunidades que participaron en él.
