In 1973, a group of grassroots activists launched an adult literacy project in the Villa Obrera neighborhood, on the outskirts of Centenario, Neuquén province, drawing on Cuban experiences and those developed by Paulo Freire in the 1960s. This initiative was filmed by professional photographer Raúl Rodríguez, with the goal of creating a film that would be useful for other neighborhoods and also provide a testament to the work accomplished. Thirty years later, "I Use My Hands, I Use My Ideas" rescues these images and the testimonies of those who participated in the project, a precursor to national literacy campaigns.
