⌛ Filming all these days has been a true experience. Having the opportunity to learn economics at a micro level has allowed me to deeply analyze the importance of informal economics and how it works from different perspective: locals, a priest, a municipality representative, and an education director. |
Adding up, something interesting that I learned through the process of filming, was how no matter what working position you had in Manchay, the lack of government support was a common opinion. In other words, everyone mentioned that the economy of Manchay wasn't defined as happiness, instead there was always a lot of room for improvement. I was shocked by how after 23 years, the community hasn't yet been formalized, and all these related to an absent government that gives their back to all the community members. Even without help from a powerful source, with entrepreneurship and will to succeed in life, locals from Manchay community have buckled up for a rough journey which began small, and is still progressing but now, in a larger scale.
