Hostal Don Tulio

Una historia de horror y fantasía, llena de suspenso, y una metáfora urgente de la historia reciente de Guatemala y sus heridas políticas curadas.

En un sorprendente ciclo de tiempo y memoria, después de 30 años de impunidad legal, el ex general y dictador guatemalteco Efraín Ríos Montt fue acusado por un tribunal guatemalteco de crímenes de lesa humanidad.

Every day dozens of decommissioned school buses leave the United States on a southward migration that carries them to Guatemala, where they are repaired, repainted, and resurrected as the brightly-colored camionetas that bring the vast majority of Guatemalans to work each day.

LA CAMIONETA follows one such bus on its transformative journey: a journey between North and South, between life and death, and through an unfolding collection of moments, people, and places that serve to quietly remind us of the interconnected worlds in which we live.
