According to an ancient Mayan legend the Sun God gave a gift of magic dolls, "sorrow eaters" to the people. The proof of that gift can be seen in the smiles and resolve of courageous Guatemalan women working to improve the lives of their families and to rebuild their war torn homeland, a country still erupting with violence and deeply scarred by decades of corruption.
.
As fresh as today's headlines, filmed in Guatemala in 2011, "Mujeres" is both the personal story of family shredded by tragedy and senseless violence, and a snapshot of a culture struggling to heal itself. Led by heroic women working to have their voices heard, to reclaim the majesty of their Guatemala, "Mujeres" is ultimately a film about hope and the gift of the sorrow eaters.
