Our Culture is Our Resistance focuses on the impact of Guatemala’s dirty war on the life of Guatemala’s peasant populations in the Quiche region of Guatemala. These communities called themselves Communities of People in Resistance (CPR). They were forced to go into hiding in the isolated mountains of the state of Quiche, Guatemala in the 1980s when the government began the annihilation of indigenous Mayan communities. Through his camera lens, Jonathan Moller captured how these communities evolved around one of the most violent wars in the Central American region.
