Like the coffee harvest they reap, Juana, Margarita and Faustina have flourished and overcome a life of broken dreams, gender-based violence and grief. The three Tsotsil women in Chiapas, Mexico, tend to the household chores, raise their children and grow coffee on their land. Their land. A shared past in the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) opened their eyes to gender equality, autonomy and their right to land ownership, allowing them to break the traditions of the patriarchal culture that had ruled their lives, and those of other Tsotsil women, for generations. With much love and great sensitivity, director Ana Ts’uyeb tells this moving story of how the women in her community have risen up against male domination to find liberation. They may have died but, like the cycles of the coffee they cultivate, they too are born again to experience a life in which joy and dreams are possible. Lucila Moctezuma.
