THE CHORONA

CHORONA

No medals.

Dark suits, but not black.

Matt color, without shine.

Clean white shirts.

The tie in a double windsor.

They need to be spotless.

Remember that they are heroes, not victims.

And in no way lower your head.

If the general falls, he'll drag us along.

And at our age,

any sentence means perpetual.

They have become cowards over the years.

It was a pleasure.

Thanks for everything.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for coming.

- Do you want to sleep here with me? - No, very hot.

Why do you speak ill of grandpa?

- Do your friends speak ill of him? - No, on the internet.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Grandparents, ancestral spirits,

accept this light as an offering.

We pray for Don Enrique,

your family and this house.

We offer this light so that all evil

leave this place

and that everything gets right.

We ask for protection from our loved ones.

We offer this light, we pray

and we ask with all our hearts.

Letona!

- Don Enrique, it's me, Valeriana. - Letona!

Valerian, take his gun.

Enrique. - Give me the gun.

You heard that woman cry too.

You heard her cry too.

Give me the pistol.

Sir, release it. It's Valerian.

Search the rooms.

The guerrillas planted a spy here.

- Okay, but let go. - This is an order!

Did anyone hear a woman cry?

Are you sure?

It was a nightmare, that's all.

Someone entered the house. I heard it.

It was Chorona.

Did he hear you from far or near?

In the ear.

So she is far away.

Quiet!

What did you say? - Nothing.

He's getting older, that's what is happening.

Pass me the pistol.

For the safety of all, I will guard it.

We need to call a carpenter.

Your poor father. It is not for less.

With everything they do to him it's normal to go crazy.

Stress accelerates Alzheimer's.

He still has good aim. That was close.

You could have killed me.

After the verdict he will get better.

MS. Carmen, the employees want to leave.

Valerian, please

tell me now is a bad time.

My mom needs help with my dad.

See how the poor fellow is doing.

You can't leave her alone.

My parents provided a house, food, a good salary

and treat you like family.

They even buy your tortillas.

Nowhere else will they be treated like this.

Reconsider, please. This is a delicate moment.

Everyone is afraid.

They are ungrateful.

Latvia, get the car ready, please. Otherwise, it will be late.

All set, lady.

MS. Carmen, before they go, they want to receive the salary.

Nowhere else will you find work.

Is Enrique ready?

The guerrilla ran away

when I heard that the army was approaching.

I didn't even notice.

When I saw the fire, I grabbed my kids and ran.

The violence came suddenly.

First they burned the fields,

then the houses, our clothes and animals.

In addition, they separated women and children

of the men left over.

We women were raped.

And then the massacres started.

Silence.

Some of us managed to escape to the mountains.

Up there, we'll be protected by the clouds

when the helicopters came looking for us.

Since there was no food, we need to go down.

That was when I was arrested and taken to the military camp.

There the soldiers did what they wanted with me.

I was not the only one.

We hadn't done anything. We are only going to our homes.

I'm not ashamed to tell you what I went through.

I hope you are not ashamed to do justice.

That is all, very merit.

Thank you, Witness 82.

The process has already taken two months.

General Monteverde guarantees that in his mandate

guerrillas were made up of entire communities.

They were all part of the revolt.

According to the defense, no civilians were killed,

only armed guerrillas.

The general insists that there was no genocide.

But according to the victims he perpetrated genocide.

Madam, your tea.

They remember that between 1982 and 1983

the armed forces murdered an average of 3,000 people a month.

Equivalent to 33% of the Maia Ixil people.

According to the Prosecutor's Office, the military wanted to exterminate them

to occupy its oil-rich lands in the north of the country.

Let's go back?

In several interviews, the general said that...

people are to the guerrillas what water is to fish.

If you want to end the fish, you need to end the water first.

Internationally, he is known as one of the dictators

most bloodthirsty in Latin America.

Mr. Monteverde, a word please.

General Enrique Monteverde

never affirmed, never proposed,

never ordered the Guatemalan army

attempt against any race, any ethnicity

or no religion.

That is why in Guatemala there was no genocide.

I give the floor to the Hon. general Enrique Monteverde.

Your Honor,

I know that this process is very important.

And that Guatemala deserves respect.

But you know well

that my intention was to create a national identity...

Genocide!

Please silence.

I declare myself innocent.

I don't know what I'm being accused of.

The Public Ministry presented evidence, testimonies, expertise

and official military documents in which it is considered

the entire Mayan Ixil people as enemies of the state.

38% of the victims were children

under 12 years old.

This damage done goes beyond all human understanding.

There was profound damage not only to the direct victims of the massacres

as with all Guatemalan social fabric.

Telling the truth helps to heal the wounds of the past.
