This video captures the cacerolazo at 7 PM, a daily ritual of pots banging and cheering in support of essential workers during the pandemic. Filmed on the day the George Floyd protests began, the camera’s point of view gently rises toward the trees and sky, moving with the rhythm of the wind. The sounds of collective action fill the air, evoking an imaginary of relationships between strangers—expressing a shared existence. Cacerolazo reflects not only solidarity with workers, but also a deeper collective shift. Through grief, discontent, and compassion, people began moving toward a position of empowerment.
