Gaucha
Maeve Stam · 2026

Synopsis
"I want women to be free, to decide what they want and don't want to do. Why does anyone have to tell her 'you can't'?" "You don't become a gaucha, you don't study to be gaucha. I believe you have it in your blood"
Can a woman, within a culture steeped in traditions and fixed gender norms, conquer her place and fulfill her calling as a gaucha? And can she, through her example, pave the way for other women and future generations?
This short film is about the struggle of one woman who dreams of equal opportunities and rights within her beloved gaucho community.
