global initiative

It was a pleasure to work alongside Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to illustrate and animate this video that seeks to make visible the stories of activists and human rights defenders. This first video of the series tells the story of María, an indigenous woman of the Maya Chuj ethnic group who lives in the micro-region of Yich K'isis in Guatemala and her journey to defend her community human rights which have been threatened by the activities of several hydroelectric mega-projects.
