It also shows how non-governmental organizations in Latin America are starting a dialogue with governments to demand opportunities for inclusion of transgender people, and how such initiatives may result in significant changes to ensure the rights of the population.

In one of them, a vital treasure for the survival of the town is hidden, where a school houses a group of girls who share their hopes and despairs. In the other, hostility and uncertainty prevail. The river not only divides geographies, but also destinies. That is why crossing it is a challenge with unpredictable consequences. “El Huaro” is there to remind them of the price of their decisions.
