The documentary "Politicising pots, aprons and streets" shows the story of how a group of women domestic workers who came to Madrid from different corners of the global South, came together to form the feminist collective Territorio Doméstico.

The film, directed by Mayo Pimentel, describes the birth of this group 15 years ago, the way they organise themselves, their apprenticeships and the different - and original - methods they have been using since then to demand their rights as workers: they have created songs, organised parades and used all kinds of creative resources to tell how the capitalist system operation is based on the exploitation of their labour.

Their work is essential to sustain an economic, labour and social system that, nevertheless, makes them invisible and precarious. This short documentary aims to make visible their struggle, energy and inspirational capacity.
