[Charlie Welch]

Tuesday, August 5 - Discovering Dominga

Living in Iowa, Denese Becker was haunted by memories of her Mayan 
childhood. A
quest for her lost identity in Guatemala turns into a searing journey of 
political
awakening that reveals a genocidal crime and the still-unmet cry for 
justice from the
survivors. In Discovering Dominga, Denese's journey home is both a 
voyage of selfdiscovery
that permanently alters her relationship to her American family and a
political awakening that sheds light on an act of genocide against this 
hemisphere’s
largest indigenous majority.

Directed by Patricia Flynn and Mary Jo McConahay.
