Juchitán

Juchitán, México is a place where everything we expect in life has been turned up side down with profound gender reversals. The women have power in extraordinary ways, creating an epicenter of resistance. Juchitán is a story told by two ‘women’, Rafael and Big Mama, who show us what is unique about their town. They are fighting to preserve indigenous autonomy, gay justice, and the economic integrity of the region.

Juchitán is currently in production. You can read the on-going production journal here.
