Sharkita may be 12, but she takes care of her younger siblings, their mother often absent. Mani doesn’t want to go to Guatemala, until she starts discovering her family’s stories of activism for women’s rights. See how they find the voice and courage to speak up in Sherri Winston’s “Shark Teeth” and Anna Lapera’s “Mani Semilla Finds Her Quetzal Voice.” Moderated by Ofelia Montelongo.
