Doña Irma (2010)

Doña Irma works 365 days a year making tortillas. In León, Nicaragua, nearly every block has a woman with a micro-business devoted to tortilla making. This ancient, but hazardous informal labor is at once a sacred tradition and a health risk, as plastics are used to start fires and smoke tends to cause skin and lung disease in the long term.
