In Alba, New Mexico, in 1951, when her father forbids her from pursuing her dream of performing Mexican ballads as a "corridisto" and participating on the picket line because she is a girl, twelve-year-old Ana Maria finds a way to help during the long strike for better working and living conditions for the miners at Empire Zinc.
