"Mother Tongue" chronicles the first time a documentary film about Guatemalan genocide in Guatemala was translated and dubbed into Maya-Ixilโ5.5% of whom were killed during the armed conflict in the 1980s. Told from the perspective of Matilde Terraza, an emerging Ixil leader and the translation projectโs coordinator, "Mother Tongue" illuminates the Ixil communityโs ongoing work to preserve collective memory.
