The\u00a0critically acclaimed film \u201cRoma,\u201d with 10 Oscar nominations, including the history-making Best Actress nomination, a first for an indigenous woman, was a big winner at the 91st Academy Awards. Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n won for Best Director, the second for the Mexican\u00a0native, after winning in 2014 for “Gravity.” Cuaron was quick to thank Roma’s star, Yalitza Aparicio, saying that she and\u00a0Marina de Tavira, “they are the film.”
\nFor all of its accolades, the film based on Cuaron’s childhood memories in 1970s Mexico City, centering on an indigenous live-in maid, has ignited the conversation\/debate about exploitation and discrimination. An issue Cuar\u00f3n addressed in his acceptance speech: “I want to thank the Academy for recognizing a film centered around an indigenous woman. One of the 70 million domestic workers in the world without work rights, she’s a character that has historically been relegated in the background. As artists, it is our job to look where others don’t. This responsibility becomes much more important in times when we are being encouraged to look away.”
\nAparicio, with roots in the Mixtec and Triqui indigenous communities, is part of the nearly one-quarter of Mexico\u2019s population of some 120 million people who are indigenous, according to government data.\u00a0In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the actress recognized the weight of the visibility her fame is bringing. \u201cI know that everything that I am doing \u2014 if I do something wrong, they might think we are all that way. So I have to take good care of that image, our image,\u201d she said.
