"In a story that prowls the edges between cultures, a judge sends a mysterious woman to a Kansas mental hospital because, to officials, her language resembles the 'guttural noises' of a mentally ill person." This is the synopsis of the new film Rita From The Sky, which premiers this week at the Arizona International Film Festival.

The project tells the story of Rita, a Tarahuamara woman from Chihuahua Mexico, through a combination of documentary techniques. Luis Carrion talks with filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson about the inspiration for this compelling documentary.
