“The body remembers when the world broke out” is a drama picture depicting two indigenous women who struggle with the stark realities that have beaten them throughout their life paths. This picture’s main topic is domestic abuse indigenous females face regularly due to their complexion or social backgrounds, which do not correspond to other people’s major standpoints and conceptions (Brady-Brown 28). The film is highly dramatic and made in the form of one continuous and long shot. Manifesting a few shot changes, the movie is full of grey and dark signs. The scriptwriters and directors want their viewers to immerse themselves totally in the groomed atmosphere where the main protagonists participated. Abuse, right violation, and combat for fairness are the significant issues this work portrays.
The choice of this picture is not accidental, as indigenous people suffer from several oppressions. This issue is much spoken about nowadays, as, in the current realities, they defy the external world to find protection and support (Stavig 15). These works show its viewers how one woman representing an indigenous community gives a helping hand to another woman of the same social rank. The matter of humanity is the top question in these works. As the plot develops, it is seen that victims of domestic abuse are not left unattended and create a sympathetic response in other people’s hearts willing to blank them with unconditional love. Even being mutually betrayed and cheated, the first-dimensional characters manage to put things behind them, understand each other and forgive, as they have a lot in common and in the bare need of each other.
