Whistling Women

A YOUNG WOMAN GETS CAUGHT UP IN A REBELLION AGAINST THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENTAfter her brother is murdered on a citrus ranch in Southern California, a powerful man repatriates Mariana's family back to Mexico at gunpoint. Her family struggles to make a living in Tijuana, a rowdy border town filled with tourists escaping Prohibition in the United States. Trying to better her life, Mariana ends up disgracing herself and being shipped off to her cousins in Guadalajara. There, she finds herself in a household of women involved in the rebellion. It is 1926 and the Mexican government is enacting laws to restrict and outlaw the Catholic religion. Federal soldiers are murdering Catholic priests and massacring whole villages of men, women, and children who do not comply. They are hanging men in trees and from the telegraph poles along the railroad as a warning-yet the people, who call themselves Cristeros, continue to fight. As Mariana witnesses the sheer determination of people sacrificing everything for what they believe in, she must discover her own strength in order to survive and reunite what is left of her own family-or become one of the thousands of martyrs willing to die.
