Triumph of the Human Spirit, 17 April 2001
9/10
Author: davegarz from San Antonio, Texas

This is a powerful documentary about the life of Paulina, a middle-aged maid from Mexico living in the US. She returns to the village of her parents to confront them and other town elders about the cycle of abuse she was subjected to as a child. All because of her mother's rash interpretation of an innocent bathing accident. Uncomfortable interviews are intermixed with dramatizations of the events which lead ultimately to the strong-willed girl escaping from her tormentors. One can't help but feel strong admiration for her. An amazing story!
