Haunted by a civil war, Guatemala is one of the most violent countries in the world. Claudia Paz y Paz is the first female to fight for justice and takes it upon herself to fight the crime and impunity that corrupts her country. She charges former dictator Ríos Montt with genocide and asks indigenous minorities to testify of the massacres that took place in front of a court of justice. Will she succeed in restoring justice completely?

Suivi d’une rencontre avec Makrina Gudiel Alvarez (militante guatémaltèque, sœur d’un disparu, participante à la “commission vérité” sur la guerre civile).
Partenariat : Amnesty international Belgique.
