Young Makenya lives with her family on a sugar cane plantation in the Dominican Republic. When she becomes pregnant unintentionally, she not only accepts her fate, but also joins her relatives in resisting the injustices done to them. Her story is not an isolated case, but part of a larger whole—a web of exploitation, resistance, and colonization that continues to this day.
