AHORITA FRAMES

Angelika Levi
Germania
22 min.

“Ahorita Frames” moves from New York in 2001 across the border to Tijuana in 2019 the stories of the workers charged with disposing of the residual asbestos after 9/11 , thus reconfiguring the political cartography of power relations in America in the last two decades. The film not only describes the devaluation of migrant women, but also a system of cultural symbolism and its colonial narrative.

 

From September 2001 to April 2002 Nan and Nancy along with other Latin American women worked for the asbestos company Branch, cleaning the luxury apartments, offices, and banks of Manhattan in the hermetically sealed zone of “Ground Zero.” The women had neither residence permits nor work permits in the USA, and their dust masks had no filter for asbestos.

At the PedWest border crossing in Tijuana refugees, migrants from Guatemala and Venezuela and Mexicans who were deported from the USA to Tijuana,  due to the due to the “Remain in Mexico” policy are asked to perform the stories of the asbestos workers, as well as those of  American soldiers, Red Cross staff, and firefighters involved in the interventions after 9/11.
