Abstract:
Chronicles the astonishing, true story of Nobel Prize winner Rigoberta Menchú, who is a Quiché Indian woman, as she stood up for her people and helped wage a rebellion in the wake of seemingly unconquerable oppression. Shot at the height of the heated battle between the heavily-armed Guatemalan Military and the nearly defenseless Mayan population.
