Report
You’ve probably never heard the incredible and harrowing story of Rita Patiño. A Tarahumara woman, Rita left her community in northern Mexico in the early 1980s and walked across the border all the way to Kansas. When the American authorities found her, she was forcefully committed to a psychiatric hospital for 12 years. Throughout this time, her identity and even the language she speaks was unknown to the medical authorities. Now back in her hometown, the horrific episode still haunts her and her loved ones. This visually striking documentary opens a window into Rita’s inner world.
