"Eufronisa’s Revolution" is a film about Eufrosina Cruz Mendoza, a native of Santa María Quiegolani, a small indigenous community nestled in the Southern Mountain Range in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Eufrosina ran for town mayor of her community in 2007, but her victory was taken away just because she was a woman. That leads her on a personal crusade for gender equality in Oaxaca's indigenous communities, questioning the current system and becoming an icon of social and gender indigenous fight in her State.

This film is a portrait of Eufrosina's personal journey and social awakening, that dramatically changes as she accepts a position at the Oaxacan Chamber of Deputies.
