UNTAMED WOMEN (MUJERES INSUMISAS) A Tribute to Contemporary Mexican Cinema

A sincere, honest and powerful portrayal of the condition of women in contemporary Mexican
society, this film portrays a group of lower middle class women who decide to flee to the United
States to get away from their unsatisfied lives and their abusive husbands. Along the way they have
a complex array of experiences, which not only inspire them to attain dignified independence, but
give a whole new meaning to their womanhood.
