“Callar es Olvidar” is an audiovisual proposal that gives voice to the migration experiences of Ecuadorian people, capturing their stories through intimate and deeply human testimonial videos. This project not only seeks to make visible the reasons why many people decide to leave their place of origin, but also to explore the dangerous routes they take, the precarious conditions in which they travel-such as coyoterism and the loans that tie them down-and the impact on those left behind.

Each testimony is a window into the lives of those who have risked everything in search of new opportunities. From the harsh realities they face abroad to the dreams and expectations that drove them to leave home, the project weaves a collective narrative that transcends borders. With a sensitive and close look, “Callar es Olvidar” invites us to reflect on migration not as an abstract phenomenon, but as a network of personal stories full of pain, hope and resilience.

This video, in particular, is a fragment of that collective memory, a reminder that behind every migrant there is a story that deserves to be told and heard. Because to remain silent, indeed, would be to forget.
