We Women Warriors follows three native women caught in the crossfire of Colombia’s warfare who are using nonviolent resistance to defend their people’s survival. In Colombia, there are 102 aboriginal groups, one-third of which are in danger of extinction because of the ongoing conflict. Trapped in a protracted war financed by the drug trade, indigenous women are resourcefully leading and creating transformation imbued with hope. The film bears witness to rights abuses and interweaves character-driven stories about female empowerment, unshakable courage, and faith in the survival of indigenous culture.

„The moving documentary captures the heroism of native women in Colombia.“ - Los Angeles Times

"Well-conceived and unmanipulative, it will play well to audiences attuned to its social justice themes." - The Hollywood Reporter
