00:04I never liked playing with dolls.

00:08I grew up playing baseball with the kids.

00:12Well, we're here with someone

00:14who's from the Pípola family in Spanish,

00:16and it's Yalitza Aparicio.

00:19You've been with us practically since you started your career,

00:26that explosion in 2018 with Cinta Roma,

00:30it's amazing that it's been a little more than a feast.

00:33You've been one of the 50 most beautiful people in Spanish.

00:36We're super happy, congratulations.

00:38A million thanks for being here.

00:40We're going to talk about your new project,

00:42The Amazons, by Jacques Chouinard.

00:44How are you? Welcome.

00:47Thank you very much. I am radiant with happiness.

00:51I feel so happy, so grateful

00:56with the whole ESPN team for bringing a story like this

01:01from wonderful to the screen,

01:04and also for allowing the soccer team of Jacques Chouinard,

01:09the girls from the Amazons team,

01:12to also be experiencing all this experience

01:15of bringing their story around the world.

01:19Let's start with the beginning.

01:22What is this documentary about, The Amazons, by Jacques Chouinard,

01:25in which you act as a narrator?

01:28This documentary is about a soccer team of women

01:35that we see how they face and deal with many things

01:41throughout their process in their desire to grow in soccer.

01:49We get to know the people who go through this process,

01:57both those who support them and those who don't.

02:01I feel that it is a reflection of what society is about.

02:07People who trust, people who don't.

02:10But in this case, they, the protagonists,

02:13how they continue on their path.

02:15And where was the documentary filmed?

02:19This documentary is filmed in Yashuna, in Yucatan,

02:23but there are other shots that they have

02:26when they were accompanied to other fields.

02:29So they have a journey there,

02:32because it was a long time that the director has told us

02:36that he went through the process.

02:39Because they have traveled internationally.

02:41I have seen photos of them visiting other teams.

02:45They have attracted a lot of attention.

02:47What do you think has been that great achievement for them

02:51on a social and sporting level?

02:53Also, obviously, personal, a lot for them.

02:56But what do you think has been that great contribution

02:59that this group gives?

03:01I think it has been the strength they have

03:06and also the resistance above all.

03:11The fact of getting to where they are now

03:15has implied a great path,

03:17which speaks about the strength

03:22that they have both personally and as a team.

03:27It's a truly impressive documentary.

03:31And that brings me the last question for you.

03:34Since you jumped to international fame with Roma,

03:38we've been watching you.

03:40You're traveling all over the world,

03:42going to incredible places

03:43that few Mexicans can go to,

03:45few Latinos can go to.

03:48And there you were, on a red carpet,

03:50after another, after another,

03:52a junket after another,

03:54learning as you went, doing all this.

03:59How do you see that Yalitza of those years?

04:01How has it changed?

04:04Was it easy for you or not to enjoy that moment?

04:07Because it went by fast.

04:08I feel like right now you're doing something else too, right?

04:13Yes, it was a very fast process.

04:14It was learning while you were putting it into practice.

04:18But I think the most important thing

04:21about all this process that I lived

04:24and that they are also living now,

04:26it's always the team that accompanies you.

04:28Because you just drift into a different, new world,

04:34and things that you don't know,

04:35a language that you don't speak.

04:37There are so many things

04:40that just the people around you

04:42are the ones that also make you enjoy the process,

04:46the ones that help you continue,

04:49the ones that advise you, the ones you learn from.

04:52Because many times it's not necessary for them to speak,

04:55it's not necessary for them to tell you,

04:56oh, look, step one, step two, no.

04:57You see how they develop and you say,

05:00ah, so I have to learn to do this,

05:03I have to do the other.

05:05They are things that surround you

05:07and that fill all these moments.

05:09So I think seeing them right now in all that process

05:13reminds me of those experiences that I just let go

05:18and that now I say, ah, of course,

05:20the first time I came to New York,

05:21oh, I'm terrible at dates,

05:24but there are moments that I have as a photograph in my mind

05:27and I say, ah, the first time I went to Venice, of course, no.

05:31Yes, it's true, I already knew this place as little things

05:34that are happening,

05:35which maybe at the time is a lot, a lot, a lot.

05:38But when you sit down, you say,

05:39how incredible to have lived that process.

05:42And today, how incredible to be able to have this opportunity

05:46to see the process of all the women

05:49of this softball team, of all the Amazons.

05:53See this process of what they are living,

05:55of what they are enjoying, of what they are knowing.

05:58And it is also wonderful to see how the ESPN team,

06:03all those who make it up,

06:05are there giving them the support.

06:08It's amazing.

06:09You have formed a very good team.

06:11Congratulations truly for this documentary.

06:13It's amazing.

06:14No one can miss it.

06:16Yalitza, Parisio, thank you very much.

06:19And yes, no one can miss this documentary.

06:21I think there are many things that we can learn

06:24from the process that they have had.

06:27And there are also many little things that remind you again

06:31how important it is to enjoy every moment.
