Through the living memory of Rosa Corvacho (1921–2011), her Afro-Chilean family’s grandmother and matriarch, a powerful journey of return unfolds. As their bodies, voices, and inherited gestures stir, they bring back a suppressed chapter of Black Chilean history—Chileanization, the whitening policies imposed in the country’s north, and the everyday realities these families faced throughout the 20th century.
