Radio Qman Txun, crónica de un pueblo maya tells a story between entertainment and reflection, so it allows every watcher whether to do a deep analysis or not, according to their own interest: it can be seen just as a show but it can also make one wonder about the main social, economic and cultural problems of present day: the conflict between tradition and a far reaching globalization, the old social unfair and its links to current immigration, young people and Indian women, the peace process and the new born democracy in Guatemala, the only hope for a change. We just pretend to make questions and let every watcher figure out their own answers.
