La Laguna is a documentary created by young people from the Itatí neighborhood in the Quilmes district, one of the largest slums in the country. It invites reflection on the stories and living conditions of a community on the outskirts of La Laguna, formed by the drainage of the Las Piedras stream. Through interviews with neighbors, urban adaptations to their needs and reality are explored. Using sounds, images, and poetry, the documentary makes these stories visible, strengthening identity and promoting social inclusion through the democratization of words. Despite their reality, this community promotes solidarity, community values, and keeping memory alive.
