Carmen, No Fear of Freedom

View on the Pragda STREAM site

Directed by Irene Baqué, Carmen, No Fear of Freedom follows Carmen Santiago, a groundbreaking Roma feminist activist from the “Las 600” neighborhood in southern Spain, as she leads the first association of Romani women dedicated to confronting systemic racism and gender inequality.

Breaking long-standing stereotypes imposed on Roma women, Carmen navigates both external discrimination and the internal pressures of becoming a symbolic figure for her community’s hopes for change.

Through intimate storytelling and powerful observational moments, the documentary captures how Carmen's determination, leadership, and unapologetic voice cultivate collective resistance and foster solidarity among Roma women while reshaping her community, the future of Roma feminism, and the struggle for social justice in contemporary Spain.
