About the Film:
Directed by Florence Jaugey. Nicaragua, Mexico, Spain, France, 2009, 90 mins. Spanish with English subtitles.
Nicaragua’s first full-length feature in 20 years tells the story of Yuma, a strong-willed girl from the gang-infested barrios of Managua. She dreams of becoming a boxer, and finds hope in her training and a friendship with a journalism student from the other side of the city.
