Maria's Story

Premiere Date: August 13, 1991

Synopsis

"Maria's Story introduces us to a remarkable and engaging woman, a dynamic 39 year-old Salvadoran peasant — a wife and mother of three who has become a charismatic guerrilla leader. Short and stocky, possessed of an inner radiance, a ready wit, a healing touch, a strong intellect and matter-of-fact common sense, Maria Serrano is a kind of ultimate earth mother, a natural poet who can compare the flowering of revolution with giving birth." — Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
