Abstract:
This documentary short chronicles the first time a film has been translated and dubbed into Maya-Ixil, the native language of one of the Guatemalan indigenous groups that were targeted by State-sponsored genocide in 1982-83. Told from the perspective of Matilde Terraza, a young emerging leader from the Ixil community and the coordinator of the translation project, the film brings to light the ongoing work to preserve collective memory in Guatemala, as well as the profound resilience of the Ixil community-14.5% of whom were killed during the armed conflict.
