Burnt Beam portrays the modern slavery that persists in precarious work within the capitalist system. Based on the testimony of Berta Huamán, mother of one of the young men who died in a fire after being locked inside by their employer, the short film reconstructs the structural violence that enabled the tragedy, marked by abuse, corruption, and negligence. The film becomes an act of remembrance and denunciation of a system that normalizes human sacrifice.
