In Guatemala 43% of children under 5 are malnourished -- nearly 60% of these are indigenous children. The film reveals how many children survive on flour tortillas with crushed chilli spread on top. The film also highlights the success of a Plan project that has introduced family gardens, provided seeds and taught communities to make their own compost. The project has also taught a thousand women new recipes to ensure their children eat food high in nutrients. This was filmed in the Alta Verapaz department in the north central part of Guatemala.
