content: Edited film explores the paradox of Aymara women's lives in the Bolivian highlands. Women believe the dominant Hispanic ideal that women should be subservient to men and to only undertake tasks appropriate to their limited strength and intelligence even as Aymara culture recognizes equal gender contributions to the community and family survival through cooperation and reciprocity.
