Kuxlejal (Life) spotlights the high suicide rate among indigenous youth and explores the feelings and conflicts behind the thought that “life is worthless.” It shows young people struggling to find their identity, speak their own language, and start to accept themselves. In seeking to open a dialogue and build a bridge of empathy between generations and cultures, its primary goal is to save lives.
