After 20 years in New York, Nelida returns her birthplace to help women start businesses — but ends up running for mayor against eight men.
About the film (in post-production) In this long-awaited follow-up to Soy Andina, Nelida moves back to Peru to help rural women start businesses. That’s a big challenge in the Andes, where many women are marginalized. But few things deter Nelida, and she succeeds in organizing cooperatives around local skills like weaving and quinoa. Then the unexpected happens — she’s invited to run for mayor of the province by a new political party. Fed up with Llamellin’s stagnation and it’s corrupt leadership, she accepts the challenge ....
