Rigoberta Menchú: Cassandra and Crusader

Rigoberta Menchú has become widely known as a leading advocate of Indian rights and ethno-cultural reconciliation—and also a center of controversy—not only in her native Guatemala, but throughout the western hemisphere. In this program, Menchú, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and other international awards, talks about her life both at home and in exile, her autobiographical I, Rigoberta Menchú, her associations with the Committee of the Peasant Union and The United Representation of the Guatemalan Opposition, and other topics. (Spanish, 28 minutes)
