Comparsa

Synopsis

From the shadows of a Guatemalan barrio scared into silence, sisters Lesli and Lupe lead a luminous rebellion—unleashing joy, art, and radical truth in an epic fight for survival.

Their youth movement takes to the streets, confronting corruption and reclaiming public space for women and girls. Rooting their efforts in joy and community care, they find healing along the way. Built on a 17-year relationship between the subjects and the film team, Comparsa offers a stirring portrait of sisterhood, peacebuilding, and the transformational power of art.
