We Women Warriors follows three brave and remarkable native women in Colombia as they nonviolently lead their people and defend their autonomy amid ongoing warfare.

Doris Puchana is a young, valiant mother who governs the vulnerable Awá population caught in the epicenter of the drug war where coca leaves (the base for cocaine) is grown. She fiercely protects her people, even when her own life is threatened.

Ludis Rodriguez, a spunky Kankuamo widow and mother, tells us, from inside prison, how she was framed and captured on false charges of rebellion. Once Ludis is freed she is able to move onward to reconstruct a family and future after systematic violence has swept through her region.

Tiny in height but tremendous in spirit and presence, Flor Ilva Trochez is the first female Nasa governor of Jambaló. She leads her people in a pacific movement to dismantle police barracks that endanger civilians by placing them in the rebel's line of fire.

Colombia has 102 indigenous groups that despite their neutral stance are caught in the crossfire. While the stories in We Women Warriors bear witness to human rights abuses, they are also stories of hope, zest for life, courage to move onward and faith in indigenous culture.
