Synopsis
Nancy López belongs to the Wichi indigenous people and lives in her community, a few kilometres from the city of Tartagal (Salta, Argentina). She remembers her father’s stories about the massacres and rapes in her grandparents’ time. She also recalls the later discrimination at school, the usurped lands, and the slow reconstruction of collective identity. Today she is a communicator on an interethnic radio station. She demands respect from society through courage, intelligence and conscience. The documentary alternates dialogue in Spanish with narrations in Wichi that illustrate paintings by an artist of her people.
