Greene productor cineasta peculiar en crear documentales sensibles sobre diferentes temas reales de orden social que quiebran emocional y psicológicamente a las personas. Por ejemplo Bisbee'17 es una producción que las metáforas de las imágenes y el argumento son impactantes, la cual recomiendo; pues lo mismo ocurre con el documental Procesión, esta cinematografía provoca impresión porque el director Greene deja que los afectados que observó en una conferencia cuenten y protagonicen los hechos cómo lo recuerdan, asistidos de la terapia teatroterapeuta; es decir, Greene usó el conocimiento del cine para representar las experiencias negativas, aspecto que me gusta, porque es contar y guiar desde una mirada fuerte, concisa y ficticia el pasado reprimido para ayudar a curar heridas a través de la intervención de especialistas. El film tiene todo a su favor, posee tecnicismo y acción humanizadora en pensar en el padecimiento del otro para servir.
Cinema is a useful tool for producers who wish to convey a message to the public, but there are also filmmakers who know how to use it therapeutically to help those who need it. The film genre is broad and also has multiple benefits to the viewer because in addition to entertain, share, reflect, drain and learn about a subject; at the same time serves as a vehicle for those who wish to star in their story in a therapeutic way. The documentary film Procession of 2021, brings together the aforementioned benefits, since the characters make the cinematographic art, the liberating instrument of oppression and in the moviegoer allows to internalize the process in understanding sensitive testimonies that need to be heard to heal and inform.
Greene is a filmmaker peculiar in creating sensitive documentaries on different real social issues that break people emotionally and psychologically; as for example Bisbee'17 is a production that the metaphors of the images and the argument are shocking, which I recommend. The same happens with the documentary Procession, this cinematography provokes impression because the director Greene lets the affected people that he observed in a conference tell and act out the facts as they remember them, assisted by theater therapy. Tthat is, Greene used the knowledge of cinema to represent the negative experiences, an aspect that I like, because it is to tell and guide from a strong, concise and fictitious look the repressed past to help heal wounds through the intervention of specialists. The film has everything in its favor, it has technicality and humanizing action in thinking about the suffering of the other to serve.
¿De qué trata Procesión? El título espero que les aproxime al tema, en fin, es un grupo de 6 hombres víctimas de abuso sexual infantil quienes buscan justicia y explican la vivencia por medio de rituales de poder clérigo en Estados Unidos. Al principio me anticipé en pensar que era un documental donde los sobrevivientes cuenta la historia desgarradora de curas abusadores, sin embargo, rompe con el esquema desde el inicio, hay un espacio para informar por qué nace la inspiración del documental para compartir con la sociedad, esto permite luego ver como cada doliente de una vida cargada de emociones y sentimientos dolorosos, enfrentan demonios por medio de las técnicas dramáticas. El argumento está bien estructurado, es ver Spotlight, pero sanador, sobre abusos antiguos vigentes que requieren de justicia, mientras los niños hombres abusados tienen una vida adulta disociada.
¿Cómo se desarrolla Procesión? Tiene un hilo conductor fluido, se asumen roles, contar aquello que está fijo en el pensamiento y expresarlo al mundo sin causar lástima; aspecto que comprendí, no hubo lágrimas en mí, sino que valoré a hombres que necesitaban hablar con el niño sepultado. La etapa infantil, que tuvo que ser hermosa y pieza fundamental en la madurez adulta, le ha restado sentido a la vida y las pesadillas, rabias e inseguridades toman las riendas de la existencia.
What is Procession about? I hope the title brings you closer to the topic. In short, it is about a group of 6 male victims of child sexual abuse who seek justice and explain their experience through rituals of clerical power in the United States. At first I anticipated thinking that it was a documentary where survivors tell the heartbreaking story of abusive priests, however, it breaks with the scheme from the beginning, there is a space to inform why the inspiration of the documentary was born to share with society, this allows then to see how each mourner of a life full of emotions and painful feelings, face demons through dramatic techniques. The plot is well structured, it is like watching Spotlight, but healing, about old abuses that require justice, while the abused male children have a dissociated adult life.
How does Procession develop? It has a fluid thread, roles are assumed, telling that which is fixed in thought and expressing it to the world without causing pity; an aspect that I understood, there were no tears in me, but I valued men who needed to talk to the buried child. The infant stage, which had to be a beautiful and fundamental piece in the adult maturity, has subtracted sense of the life and the nightmares, rages and insecurities take the reins of the existence.
Lo positivo del documental es la hermandad, conectar el sentir de los 6 hombres, el apoyo entre ellos para colaborar en representar el guion construido por cada uno, ser escuchado y redireccionado a través de la reflexión de los compañeros y la terapeuta. Los abrazos para sosegar el dolor y felicitar por el avance en superar el pasado, un paso a la vez. También, válido es reconocer al equipo profesional, abogados, terapeuta, actor y el director, celebrando el progreso personal de los sobrevivientes al tener contacto con aquello que aborrecen, realmente conmovedor.
Las 6 historias diferentes depende de experiencia y las personalidades, pero todos lidian con símbolos que tienen un significado benevolente y son usados para hacer el mal, ya sean objetos, palabras, vestuarios y lugares emblemáticos que les toca la cicatriz causada por el acto lascivo de un arzobispo. Otro aspecto, que coincide, es aprender a no culpar a los familiares, porque al final este fenómeno rompe la armonía de la convivencia; esta perspectiva, es difícil de aceptar porque ambos lados (sujeto y familia), producto de la creencia, determina que algo está mal. Entiendo que la maldad está en la persona que abusa del poder para manipular y no dejarse atrapar por leyes judiciales y católicas, ambas son barreras para que se haga justicia.
The positive aspect of the documentary is the brotherhood, connecting the feelings of the 6 men, the support among them to collaborate in representing the script built by each one, being listened to and redirected through the reflection of the companions and the therapist. The hugs to soothe the pain and congratulate the progress in overcoming the past, one step at a time. Also, it is valid to recognize the professional team, lawyers, therapist, actor and director, celebrating the personal progress of the survivors to have contact with what they abhor, really touching.
Another aspect, which coincides, is to learn not to blame the relatives, because in the end this phenomenon breaks the harmony of coexistence; this perspective, is difficult to accept because both sides (subject and family), product of belief, determines that something is wrong. I understand that the evil is in the person who abuses the power to manipulate and not be trapped by judicial and Catholic laws, both are barriers to justice.
¿Por qué tengo que ver Procesión? El cineasta Greene hizo un trabajo esperanzador, donde la niñez interrumpida se libera; ofrece la oportunidad de ganarle al trauma por medio de una terapia y las cámaras de grabación sean el medio de información. Es un documental de construcción a partir de diálogos íntimos y en grupo que hacen catarsis durante la procesión; lograr hacer el cambio en dominar el dolor del abuso sexual infantil, aunque, no exista respuesta para uno de ellos, cuando formuló la pregunta "¿Qué piensan Dios y Jesucristo sobre eso?".
The music of the documentary Procesión is instrumental, ecclesiastical and sober, however, the spontaneous and structured dialogues are the strength of the stories. The scenarios and places were not something aesthetic to admire, but rather depended on the possibility of reproducing a space to dramatize, to approach the episode where the obscene began; a visual work of the 6 men who helped each other and the professional film crew directed. Each story told has its weight; however, the last 2, for me, have the explosion of emotions, crying, anger and surprises. I really enjoyed the documentary to see how the cinema orchestrated beyond the art of production, in helping this group that wanted a change of behavior and correct attitudes that were fabricated through the association of stimuli, confrontation is necessary and somatization is inevitable.
Why should I watch Procession? Filmmaker Greene made a hopeful work, where the interrupted childhood is liberated; it offers the opportunity to win over the trauma through therapy and the recording cameras are the means of information. It is a documentary of construction from intimate and group dialogues that make a catharsis during the procession; achieving change in mastering the pain of child sexual abuse, although, there is no answer for one of them, when he asked the question "What do God and Jesus Christ think about that?".
