Papalotl Muyus uses a mix of indigenous and contemporary dances as a way to address and heal the trauma that continually impacts migrant communities. The brave children featured in this film carry out this piece of art to denounce the cruelty executed by the United States government against migrant families by separating them and locking up children in prisons. Until now, that policy persists and families continue to be separated. The U.S. government continues to lock up children, and extreme levels of repression from ICE continue, as we’ve seen against the migrant Haitian community. Biden’s administration promised to reunite more than 3,000 thousand children to their families but this hasn’t happened yet. The Biden administration acknowledges that thousands of children separated at the border during Trump’s “zero tolerance" policy era have not yet been reunified with their families, and claims that those responsible for the policy are “criminal” but has not made any plan to hold anyone accountable, continues to enable impunity at the border. Biden's administration has also re-opened several detention centers for minors, despite civil and human rights organizations have pointed out the cruelty and human rights violations. But the seeds of hope are already planted.

Papalotl Muyus utiliza una combinación de danza indígena y contemporánea para abordar y sanar el trauma que continuamente impacta a las comunidades migrantes. Los valientes niñes que aparecen en esta película realizan esta obra para denunciar la crueldad ejecutada por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos contra las familias migrantes, separándolas y encerrando a niños en cárceles. Hasta ahora, esa política persiste y las familias siguen estando separadas. El gobierno de los EE.UU. continúa encerrando niños y los niveles extremos de represión por parte de ICE continúan, como hemos visto contra la comunidad migrante haitiana. La administración de Biden prometió reunir a más de 3,000 mil niños con sus familias, pero esto aún no ha sucedido. La administración de Biden reconoce que miles de niños separados en la frontera durante la era de "política cero" de Trump aún no se han reunificado con sus familias, y afirma que los responsables de esa política son "criminales" pero no existe ningún plan para hacer a alguien responsable, condonando así la impunidad en la frontera. La administración de Biden también ha reabierto varios centros de detención para menores, a pesar de que las organizaciones de derechos civiles y humanos han señalado crueldad y violaciones a los derechos humanos. Pero las semillas de esperanza están ya plantadas. Visita www.papalotlmuyus.com para más información sobre Papalotl Muyus y recursos legales y de apoyo para las comunidades migrantes en los EE.UU.
