Yalaltecas
The documentary captures the struggle of the Yalatecas Women’s Union, in a remote Zapotec indigenous community, in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. It recreates the seizure of the Municipal Palace that led to the end of the cacicazgo (ruling of the caciques), the organization of the Union, and achievements such as the cooperative of artisans, the communal mill and the support for the Castilianization Center and musical instruments for the band that is the heart of community.
