Two paths cross on a descent into Guatemala's past: that of Mateo Pablo,
a Maya survivor of one of many massacres committed by local government
troops, and Daniel Hernández-Salazar, a concerned Guatemalan artist and
photographer. Together they travel to a remote site in the highlands
where the community of Petanac once stood. The bones found there by
archaeologists tell a mute story of agony.
A documentary film by Mary Ellen Davis, Canada-Guatemala 2001, 74min.
With Mateo Pablo and Daniel Hernández-Salazar

"A moving work, and a great testimony to break the silence about the
genocide in Guatemala."
- Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Nobel Peace Prize winner
