The audiovisual director, Ismael Cabrera, tells us the ins and outs of these seven stories, one for each island, which he is exhibiting these days in Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Fuerteventura. Calima rosa , the documentary by young Ismael Cabrera that gives visibility to different Canarian stories of marginalization due to sexual orientation or gender identity, can be seen these days in the Government rooms in Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Fuerteventura. Its protagonists, one for each island, suffered firsthand different forms of repression during the years of dictatorship in Spain, and now they can tell it. They are people who “really wanted to be heard,” says the director of the film. The film, the filmmaker's debut feature, has been programmed within the Diversity, Equality and Culture cycle that is currently being held in these islands at the initiative of the Canarian Institute of Cultural Development (ICDC), with the collaboration of Filmoteca Canaria, and the General Directorate of Diversity of the Government of the Canary Islands, which has supported the production of the documentary. Silenced people There are seven stories of dissident people who have been constantly silenced, personal experiences of loss, self-discovery, ability to overcome, social misunderstanding, family or marginal jobs. Together they weave a documentary of collective memory through their own and other people's memories.

Its protagonists are part of a systematically marginalized group, who suffered the consequences and repression that marked the LGTBI group during the Franco era. Real cases that, although different, share some experiences. Ismael Cabrera explains that he collects a testimony for each island and that he concludes with a more artistic section as a “tribute to all those victims and people who combine our memory and that, thanks to the fact that they fought so hard, we now have a minimum of security and guaranteed rights, which we nevertheless have to continue defending.” He adds that 'Calima rosa' “completely pushes for freedom, diversity and the continuation of these rights.” As it progresses, the Europe Mobile Number List testimony in El Hierro has as its protagonist a lesbian woman named Adela, “whose struggle is impressive”; in Gran Canaria there is “Elena and a group of transsexual people closely linked to the Santa Catalina park and the port, which I think you may like a lot because of how close they are and the way they tell their stories, mixing the tragic and the comic in some parts ”. In La Palma he collects the story of a transformist, “a person who has a promise of a very spiritual nature, as a result of a fairly strong event in his life.” The next chapter is in Tenerife, "with Paulo, a trans man with a story that is also funny, has many points of humor and also emotion, with an endearing protagonist." From La Gomera there is a “very profound story of someone who is no longer here, the only one who has already died but who represents a dissidence within the LGTBI sphere that one rarely has the opportunity to see.



From Lanzarote appears “a diverse family that has already served and has helped a lot within the environment of the island and where there is a little one who is going to tell his own vision first-hand”; while Fuerteventura tells what happened in the agricultural prison colony of Tefía, through the testimony of Octavio García.Cocaine consumption increases in the Canary Islands Proyecto Hombre warns of the increase in drug consumption on the islands Proyecto Hombre warns of the increase in drug consumption on the islands María del Carmen Lázaro. director of the Hombre Canarias project, she presents us with the conclusions of the observatory's 2022 report.
