ÉCHALE SÁVILA
Sávila’s music video and mini documentary, Échale Sávila, promotes inter-generational healing through the relationship with their mothers as they speak on themes of Mexican-American identity, resilience, and healing shot through the lens of a Super-8 camera by filmmaker C. Díaz.
The Vision: Fabiola Reyna (guitarist), Brisa Gonzalez (singer) y Papi Fimbres (drums) reunite with their mothers in their current location of Portland, Oregon to honor the histories of their lives and those who came before them. Sávila reunite with their mothers to bring awareness to the experience, responsibilities, and trauma that women/mothers/care-takers face and how that transfers onto the generations that follow. Through this video Sávila seeks to answer questions such as, “How do we break this cycle of repeated suffering?” How do we honor and acknowledge the trauma of our history and use it to heal and empower our future?”
