Synopsis:

Our documentary is about the lives and experiences of the Peñolanos of Barrio Rucio and the adjacent communities. These communities, through leadership, self-management, and mutual support of their members, have withstood generations of adversities amplified by their location and government inaction. The documentary also shows the community’s relationship with the leaders and volunteers of Aula en la Montaña, a project of the organization Impacto Juventud GC Inc, who have collaborated with the community by providing support in various areas such as education and the socio-emotional development of their youth.
