ABOUT THE FILM 
In the summer of 2014, Segundo Angamarca, an Ecuadorian-born construction worker, launched Kichwa-Hatari (“Kichwa Rising”) radio program, broadcasting in the indigenous language of Ecuador. Angamarca had a big vision: to unite Ecuadorians living in the USA (many undocumented and living in the shadows) and help preserve the indigenous language and culture. Despite having no sponsors or formal training in radio, Angamarca's show becomes a leading voice and hub for the Ecuadorian and broader indigenous community in the USA. (New York Times article about the station)
