SYNOPSIS

In the Amuzgo town of Suljaa’, women are backstrap weavers and cotton sowers. In this place, traditional textile knowledge is handed down and possessed by women. But violence against them is unfortunately commonplace. Yecenia, a young weaver, is mourning her cousin Silvia who’s been a victim of femicide. She and other weaving women create a collective ritual to honor Silvia’s life and the textile legacy they’ve received from their female ancestors. As if it were a cotton thread, their commitment to dignity weaves them together and helps them keep on with their lives despite violence.
