The film features a group of Mayan women who play together on a softball team called the Diablillas. Their story begins with the question, "Who will stop me?"

Throughout the film, we hear about how the women joined the team, what challenges they faced, who supported them, and their reasons for wanting to play a sport in their community. They touch on the importance of feeling one with nature on and off the field and share how they keep their Mayan roots alive while playing together.

The story concludes with a message of hope for future women and athletes to dare to dream and break out of roles they may be tied down to by society just like they did.

Las Diablillas (The Little Devils) are a softball team from Hondzonot, Mexico who began playing the sport as a way to have fun, create space for themselves, and also challenge traditional gender roles in their indigenous community.

This short documentary introduces Las Diablillas to the world, not just as the Mayan women who play softball barefoot and in their traditional dresses (huipiles), but as a collective voice that highlights their individual journeys by discussing who supported and challenged them along the way. The film explores the family traditions these women have built, the trauma they’ve broken, and the aspirations they have for future generations of women.

The objective of the film is to celebrate the Diablillas' courage, dreams, and what they've accomplished in their community.

Our director believes that this genre is beautiful for many reasons, one being because of its complexity; there is a true challenge in the fine balance between the story we tell and how we choose to tell it, never letting one overpower the other.

The close attention to detail and subtlety is what we believe to be the key to unlocking an emotional experience that allows us to dive into another’s story in an alluring way.

They were very excited to tell a story about how women can find freedom and power through sports, how a town change its way of thinking because of it, and how this can impact future generations.

Throughout Latin America, women are expected to perform household duties before anything else and traditional gender roles remain in place, especially in smaller communities like Hondzonot.

By challenging the norms and exploring an outlet that brought the Diablillas pride and happiness, the team initially drew criticism from others in town who feared the women would be less attentive to their families. However, as their name suggests, these women are rebels and have proved skeptics wrong, now drawing large crowds to their games.

Their actions are inspiring other women from nearby communities to fight for their rights to have fun, practice enjoyable activities, and create spaces for themselves.

After the film’s release on social media, men and women chimed in with comments of admiration and support for the Diablillas’ pioneering accomplishments.
