  • "Guatemala is a divided society. It is run by and for the Ladino Guatemalans who make up 45% of the population. The Ladinos are of mixed European and Indian ancestry. They speak Spanish and follow the customs and traditions of Western culture. The other 55% of Guatemala's people are the 3 1/2 million pure-blooded Indians who until recently carried on their traditional way of life in silence and isolation in mountain villages. This film is about life in one such Indian village, Todos Santos Cuchumatán. Between 1980 and 1982 these highland Indians became increasingly involved in the political and social turmoil in Guatemala, and in 1981 hundreds of Mam Indians from Todos Santos and nearby communities were executed, reportedly by army and security forces who suspected them of aiding the right or the left."
