Filmed over 15 years, beginning with her classic documentary TODOS SANTOS CUCHUMATAN: Report from a Guatemala Village (1982), Olivia Carrescia's three films on the Mayan Indians of Guatemala preserve a record, and provide an acute observation on how the indigenous culture has been affected by, yet survived, that country's tumultuous history.
