A match against ignorance, machismo and lack of resources.

Alfonso Algara's Las Amazonas de Yaxunah is an encouraging story about a group of indigineous women that, against all odds, achieve to overcome all the obstacles that they face in their daily lives and in their community to become an international recoginazed softball team.

The lack of economic resources and proper training is the least of their problems, since they're not initially allowed to play or visit certain places of the town according to certain ideas and customs of the community.

Yalitza Aparicio's voice fits perfectly with the rythm and pace of the documentary, and the alluring photography by Ernesto Abrego and Simon Schneider is another good move of this outstanding Mexican documentary.

Where to view?

I caught the last third of this wonderful film by chance, on ESPN2 tonight. As an ex fanatical softball player in my younger years, it caught my eye and held my attention. It is the amazing story of a group of women from the Yucatan region of Mexico who formed a softball team out of their love for the game. Las Amazones de Yaxunan. It features their challenges and their victories, while they play in their indigenous dresses called huipil, and barefoot! I tried recording it, but it would not record it in its entirety. I would really love to see the whole thing. I am wondering where I can view it the whole film!!!
