Synopsis
Since 1981, in the northern mountains of Guatemala, the so-called Comunidades de Población en Resistencia are found. These communities formed by indigenous groups gather around 20.000 people, living hidden in the jungle to escape the persecution of the army. This documentary shows the first visit in 10 years of a commission made up of representatives of the religious, unions and human rights sectors, who had access to some of these communities for three days.
