SYNOPSIS: As told through the stories of activists and the Mayan women themselves LA VIOLENCIA documents the decimation of the Mayan population of Guatemala during its 36-year civil war. Over 200,000 people were murdered. Acts of torture and sexual violence were unmercifully implemented by the armed forces. Today, Guatemala remains one of the most dangerous countries for women in the world, with rape, domestic violence and femicide rife. LA VIOLENCIA takes us on an emotional journey to this visually beautiful yet tormented country, from its violent history to its current fragile state.
