In a country where indigenous people are increasingly displaced, their land stolen , where students disappear without a trace following police arrests, and journalists are murdered at an alarming rate, a courageous new voice emerges: Lupita, a Tsostil Maya massacre survivor, at the forefront of a new movement of indigigenous women. Cultivating a new generation of organized and voal Maya activists. Following lupita taking on risks and responsibilities to represent her people, weaving her personal narrative into the painful revolutionary history of Mexico.
