"Talking of Power is a solid & exciting documentary that offers a glimpse of new ways of re-making the world and women's role at the heart of it."
Rod Stoneman, Huston School of Film, Galway, Ireland

From Talking of Power:

"The people from the 'barrio' built the city twice: during the day we built the houses of the well-off; at night and at weekends, with solidarity, we built our own homes, our 'barrio'."
La Vega Land Committee

"Who suffers most, who works most when health services are privatized? Women, mothers... Social security for housewives is a debt." President Chávez

"Power is about doing and achieving for the benefit of all, of the collective. No one can speak for us, we must all speak for ourselves".
Women's Development Bank

"Our revolution depends on women." Bolivarian Workers Power
