Synopsis
Magdalena, su mejor amiga Lucia, y su hija Veronica, tres mujeres zapatistas, manejan la pobreza y las expectativas sociales en los Altos de Chiapas. Un tributo al poder de las mujeres y la comunidad.
Magdalena, her best friend Lucia, and her daughter Veronica, three Zapatista women, navigate poverty and societal expectations in their small Chiapas town. A tribute to the power of women and community.
Magdalena y su hija Veronica estan unidas por las expectativas culturales en los Altos de Chiapas. Buscando liberacion dentro de ellas mismas y en la comunidad, Magdalena recuerda su amistad con Lucia, quien emigró al norte en busca de trabajo y desapareció. Magadalena le cuenta a su hija Verónica que ellas sonaban en ser maestras, y cómo la pobreza y los roles de género les robaron sus suenos. A traves de sus historias y experiencias compartidas, cada mujer se mantuvo fiel a sí misma: Lucía como líder zapatista y curandera; Magdalena como tejedora y organizadora comunitaria, y Veronica que encuentra su poder como entrevistadora y narradora, que recopila y lleva registro de las historias de las mujeres zapatistas.
Magdalena and her daughter Veronica are bound by cultural expectations in their highlands town of Chiapas. Searching for liberation within themselves and their community, Magdalena recalls her friendship with Lucia, who migrated north to find work and disappeared. Magdalena tells her daughter Veronica how they had once yearned to be teachers and how poverty and gender roles stole away their dreams. Through story and shared experience, each woman remains true to herself: Lucia as a Zapatista leader and curandera, Magdalena as a weaver and community organizer, and Veronica as an interviewer and storyteller, who compiles and keeps record of the stories of the many Zapatista women around her.
