Abstract

Marta Rodríguez is one of the first documentarians in Colombia. Her filmography focuses on exposing human rights violations through film. Her approach as a filmmaker is ethnographic, characterized by using the camera as an observer, and portraying the reality of her subjects without imposing personal narratives. Her work has triggered social change and her documentaries have become part of the archive of Colombian history. The following article describes how she uses her ethnographic method as a filmmaker and the impact of her approach in making cinema for social change.
