They form a theater troupe, calling themselves “The Scarlet D’s.” They have four months to prepare an original production about their personal experiences, which they call “The Grief Trip.” Their process and performance was made into this film.

This is the story of a work brigade during a ten-day El Porvenir project outside of El Sauce in rural Nicaragua. El Porvenir is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating sustainable self-help water, sanitation and reforestation projects. The film starts with an image that signifies the reason why these work brigades are necessary – a woman washing her clothes in a local stream, which is used for drinking water by both cattle and humans - water that is becoming polluted with phosphates and animal feces. |
