ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In the mountains of Oaxaca, there is a half-century war, ignored by millions... Right there, a story of resistance and unbreakable dignity was born.

Triqui Woman is the extraordinary tale of a little girl from Oaxaca who, at five years old, went from living in paradise to struggling to survive on a battlefield, where she learned to wield a weapon to defend herself, overcome the greatest anguish, and challenge a destiny of violence and poverty.

It is the unheard testimony of Beatriz P rez L pez, who--suddenly--was thrown into her people's historic struggle against local chieftains and external actors who have profited from the conflict between brothers.

However, after a lifetime of resistance--in hiding, boarding schools, forced displacement, activism, clandestinity, and politics--she ended up seeking another possibility for her indigenous nation: reconciliation and peace.

On that journey, her own people took her to the Congress of the Union, where as a deputy she promoted the reform of Article Two of the Constitution, which in 2024 achieved the recognition of indigenous peoples as subjects of rights in Mexico, thus beginning to settle a historical debt.

So Triqui Woman is also that story: the story of thousands of Triqui indigenous people who, even when confronted, seek day by day and decision by decision a Mexico where we all fit, no matter how different our convictions may be.
