Living on one

Rosa- these storms

Rosa, a young Mayan woman, overcomes her past to follow the dreams she once thought impossible as a female living in rural Guatemala.

"The film takes place in an impoverished rural village of Guatemala, where the norm for most young girls is to drop out of school around the third or sixth grade to help at home. Rosa asks the poignant question to camera: “why didn’t I get to go to school?” This passion for wanting more and recognizing the unfairness of her situation launches her on a journey toward adulthood and independence.

Rosa – These Storms is a wonderful short documentary that offers a rare perspective from a woman who would have never had a voice in her society without the help of these filmmakers.

Living On One is a non-profit production organization that uses filmmaking to inspire action around global issues. Rosa’s story has raised over $410,000 toward global microfinance and education scholarships for disadvantaged people. Forget the film festivals, these filmmakers are changing the world."
