Between The Americas = Tussen de Amerika's The Silence of Guatemala
If we listen carefully to the stories of the Maya people, we will hear a silence that has lasted for 40 years. This silence is about the genocide that took place under the rule of General Efraín Ríos Montt. It is called The Silence of Guatemala because the mass slaughter off the indigenous people has never been recognized. Has the moment arrived to break the silence?
Between the Americas is a search for the iconic sounds of Central America, and what they signify. Journalist Stef Biemans listens to what Central America has to tell, and illuminates the delicate situation in a kaleidoscope of sounds and stories.
