ABOUT THE FILM

“Harley Queen” (2019) is a documentary that portrays the double life of a woman who strives to find her identity through a supervillain, a dancer and a mother in Bajos de Mena, which is known as “Chile’s biggest ghetto” in Puente Alto, Santiago. It’s a film about aspirations, tensions, contradictions, and about the limits of film itself to reflect lives who are forced to navigate a system that thrives through marginalization and abandonment. It’s a lens through which to think about Chile today, politically, socially, and in relationship to a global landscape of pop references and -distant- opportunities.
