"Narrated by Yalitza Aparicio (Roma), The Amazons of Yaxunah (Las Amazonas de Yaxunah) is a fascinating documentary short about a Mexican softball team made up of Mayan indigenous women who defied the traditions and conditions of their small town to become global icons of female empowerment. An inspiring documentary that shows how resilience and a passion for a sport can help people transcend their social context."
