    • Synopsis
    • A midwife and an educator, both indigenous women,
      transform the process of birth into a battle against
      gender violence. At Yach’il Antzetic shelter in San
      Cristóbal de las Casas, México, they work with
      women from native communities, survivors as
      themselves. In this path they heal old wounds and
      start changing the future, starting by raising their
      daughters differently.
