The Department of World Languages and Cultures, The World Film Studies Program and the ISU Student Union Board (SUB) proudly presents : La Yuma Florence Jaugey / 91 min / 2011 / Nicaragua / Spanish with English subtitles

Nicaragua's first full-length feature in 20 years, La Yuma tells the story of a young woman who dreams of transcending her bleak life in the slums of Managua by becoming a boxer. Looking beyond the meager possibilities that seem available to her (and ignoring the advice of her gang-member friends), she finds solace and hope in her training and falls in love with a middle-class journalism student.
