Behind the scenes

“After I participated in Ni Una Mass, I received many comments. People were encouraged to report their case and tell their story with names and surnames. Because they feel they are not alone. And men realize that they can exaggerate jokes and that they are no longer funny, but sexist or misogynistic. “We’re unlearning,” Astenko says.

“Violence against women is an under-discussed problem”

He appeared in three episodes of the series with young Spaniards, Nicole Wallace, Clara Calle, Gabriel Guevara, Aicha Villaverde and other actors. “I spoke to them on the cell phone on the way to the shooting sets. At lunches too. ‘Wow,’ I thought, I was amazed. At that age I would have thought like them. Women (actresses) are not into ‘what they say’, they don’t care because they care about being unique and differentiating themselves as women. There are always difficult things to deal with, but you can see that they support each other with maturity,” says Astenko.

“Youngsters have a lot of success in these serials because majority of them know about the situation that the serial presents. They’ve been through it. Harassment, bullying, violence. And (they, the actors) told their stories and how they coped with it,” says Astenko, who, along with other actors, needs a police registration certificate to rule out violence or other cases in the production.

“There is not one more”: a key scene

An episode of the series, “8M”, is titled in reference to the anti-violence march for International Women’s Day. A key scene in the plot shows a conversation between the students and the teacher Andrea (Tatiana Astenko). The female students were angered by the men’s comments in the philosophy class. “I don’t see the importance of the women’s strike,” says one of them. “We’re asking for equality, idiot,” says one student, and another youth continues: “The thing is, if they’re not asking for something specific, it’s pointless for them to march.” “Can I ask for something to improve without specifying how?” asks the teacher (Astengo).

“When you say what you think, people challenge you: ‘Go outside,’ ‘Give a solution,’ but we don’t have to say how. The act of taking a stand against a situation is enough,” explains Tatiana Astenko, herself a Considers “feminist” and rejects violent jokes about women. “I don’t find it funny anymore. I’m a 57-year-old woman from a generation that raised me to be sexually assaulted. I am in the process of rebuilding. Unlearned. “I’m always reflecting,” he adds.

The “8M” scene continues with a student voicing her opinion against “Heteropatriarchy”. “There is a patriarchal system that prevents women’s political, social, cultural and economic rights (the word comes from ‘patriarchal’, masculine),” explains the Argentinian-German journalist specializing in gender and diversity approaches. . Inca Van Linden.

“Violence has the function of ensuring that this subjugation is perpetuated over time, and that is the problem”

“Violence is a phenomenon of a social nature, not related to a person’s biology, but to these relationships that subjugate women with men and other identities (LGBT). Violence has the function of ensuring that this subjugation is perpetuated over time, and that is the problem,” he adds.

In other words, “heteropatriarchal” speaks of the dominance of heterosexual men over women in a particular context, whose practices feminism characterizes as “patriarchal.” The Netflix series reflects reality. The screenplay and cinematography create a dark atmosphere, male power and violence, which is not felt from miles away, but is hidden and normalized in some cases.

A true case based on abuse

“‘Ni una mas’ is an important cultural production because we can observe stories embedded in gender violence against women. There is a masculine language that continues to categorize women and their bodies,” says a film and television professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP). Giuliana Cassano.

The final episode of the series goes through a case of sexual assault, where the protagonists are a teacher (actor Iván Massagué) and a student (actress Teresa de Mera). It is worth saying that the thriller, written by the same author of the novel, has all the stars in acting and stage, as it tries to be a mirror of stories based on reality.

José Manuel Lorenzo, the showrunner of the series, along with the author of the novel, Miguel Chas Carrel, created a fictional story not based on a true event. However, in the series finale scenes fade to real events such as Alma’s virtual ‘nickname’: “@Iam_colemanmiller”.

Alma’s nickname is reminiscent of the Netflix documentary “Audrey and Daisy,” based on the cases of Daisy Coleman and Chanel Miller. Bonnie Cohen and John Schenck’s film chronicles society’s stabbing of two American college students who were victims of online sexual harassment. Unfortunately, the first ended her life, and the second published the book “I have a name”, the title of a tragedy that a new generation of women no longer wants to experience.
