Rigoberta Menchu: Daughter of the Maya plot

"The story of an unlikely hero"

In 1959, a little girl was born to a poor family in one of the most remote mountain areas in Guatemala. A year later, civil war broke out and the small village was engulfed in violence. What can one family do to stand up for their rights? What can one young woman do to tell the world what happened? This is the story of that girl, of a family, of a people and of their fate.
