Mukí Sopalírili Aligué Gawichí Nirúgame plot

For twelve years, Rita Patiño, an indigenous woman from northern Mexico, was needlessly locked up in an institution in Kansas, United States, where she was found in a church in 1983. Because she spoke neither English nor Spanish and was very afraid of the local authorities, she was soon labeled as mentally ill. Years passed without a thorough investigation into what language she spoke or where she came from.
