Testimony
“I just finished watching Granito, and I am simply amazed at what has been accomplished. It was inspiring, terrifying, and humbling all at once. Thank you so very much for agreeing to share this with us. This film has everything we could hope for. It is a perfect example of the importance of every person's work in protecting human rights, no matter how small it may seem at the time. It make us face the ugly truth - even us here in the US - but then it offers hope, and hands the torch to the next generation of advocates.”
KAREN FAGAN, PHD, INSTITUTE DIRECTOR, WOMEN IN PUBLIC SERVICE INSTITUTE FOR WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP IN LATIN AMERICA AT THE WOODROW WILSON CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARS
“I found the film to be deeply moving, an authentic look back at a dismal history of human rights violations by Guatemala’s former leaders, as well as a look forward toward historic and legal accountability. Kudos to those who made history in their tenacious search for the truth, and to those who had the courage to document the wrongs and tell the world.”
RICHARD J. WILSON, PROFESSOR OF LAW AND DIRECTOR, INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW CLINIC, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF LAW, WASHINGTON, DC
