About
Our documentary portrays a Maya community in Rio Negro, a village in the Guatemalan highlands. Almost all of its members were brutally killed by the government during several massacres of the civil war in the 80s, to make space for the construction of a dam. The few survivors, children back then who were able to hide away, return to the stolen land years later. We follow them as they fight to safeguard their memories and culture against global economic forces and climate change. Until today their stories remain undocumented and largely unheard. We intend to change this with our film.
