Relentless Memory

"a vital oral history of the plight of the Mapuche people....Rodríguez’s film offers a powerful chorus of diverse voices. Together, they form a vital oral history that not only survives governmental repression but also carries urgent warnings for future generations" - Guardian

"Through a mix of archival material and present-day footage, Relentless Memory becomes a record of resistance and remembrance, poetically intertwining the Mapuche ancestral landscape with memories that were forcibly erased from the land and its people" - Sheffield Doc Fest

"an important documentary that confronts a painful and underrepresented history with care and sincerity" - Video Librarian

"A truly valuable and deeply humane work of research and transcription" - Letteboxd
