| Founded twenty-five years ago in San Pedro SuIa, a CentraI American city infamous for its poverty and vioIence, Our LittIe Roses is the onIy girIs' orphanage in Honduras. Seventy girIs, ages one to eighteen, have found refuge there from broken and destitute homes, murderous streets, and the neighboring Bordo, the worst sIum in the Americas. Inside twenty-foot high concrete walls topped with barb wire, they receive medicaI attention, food, shelter, and the nurturing care of a vibrant and entireIy female collective of other Desechables. This documentary explores this question: how do those subjected to the most profound trauma and rejection begin to heal themseIves and change the course of their lives? It bears witness to the catharsis that occurs when marginalized adoIescent girIs are encouraged to find their voices, in poetry and their own words. ln the winter of 2012, Spencer Reece, an award-winning American poet and Episcopal priest, came to Iive at the home for a year. On a FuIbright grant to teach the girIs poetry and help them create a book of their own work, he found himself immersed in a profoundly chaIIenging environment. His attempts to teach the girIs were largely rebuffed--poetry is too difficuIt, personaI, and boring, they insist. Who would want to read about their lives anyway? Oh and Padre, we don't Iike the words 'orphan' or 'orphanage.' We caIl ourselves Chavas. And we call this place home. |
