On Wednesday, 23rd October, Rethink Rebuild Society had the pleasure of hosting a screening of "Prayers for the Stolen." The film is set in a remote mountainous village in rural Mexico, where three young girls—Ana, Maria, and Paula—experience their childhood amidst the turmoil of a drug war.
The community lives in fear of cartels that routinely abduct teenage girls for trafficking. As Ana approaches adolescence, the film beautifully portrays her coming-of-age journey against the stark contrast of innocence and the harshness of their reality.
Following the screening, we had a meaningful and thought-provoking discussion about resilience, resistance, friendship, and community support, as well as how we can find moments of joy amid suffering. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and participated in the conversation.
