Solidarity

Spent time today meeting with the Mayan Q'eqchi people and conducting interviews for Defensora. It was very emotional for the women to watch the trailer of the film. Imagine telling your story of rape to the entire world. They believe they must speak out to bring attention to the crimes committed against them. Grahame Russell from Rights Action and Raul Choc helped translate the trailer from English to Spanish to Q'eqchi.
