Donde Nace el Sol, Guatemala
Where the Sun is Born tells the story of the Maya People through four stories which allude to important moments in the in its history over the course of the last half millenium. The central protagonist in all these stories is young woman named Maya who witnesses the invasion of her homeland and must run away to survive. Then living a nomadic existence as a refugee across the centuries she experiences the sufferings of her people resulting from the loss of her ancestral lands and increasingly her cultural traditions.

A través de la vida de Maya se narra el sufrimiento ocasionado por la conquista, la persecución durante la guerra y se muestran aspectos clave en su cultura, como la relación con la naturaleza y el respeto a los ancestros. Una mirada a través de 500 años en la Cosmovisión de un pueblo.
