What Is Gerónima About?
The premise of Gerónima without spoilers.
Gerónima was a real Mapuche woman in Argentine Patagonia, living with her four sons in a modest house on ancestral land. In 1976, amid the military dictatorship, social workers, concerned about her health, took the family to a hospital “to help them,” causing tragic results.
