The Illiterate Poet portrays a fascinating woman: Luz Fandiño. A poet, an activist, a feminist, a nationalist and a revolutionary. At 88, Luz is a living witness to the harshest realities of the twentieth century, as poor, migrant woman, as a roja . Luz is a brave woman, a deeply political person and a being with an exceptional humanity. How does the world understand this poet who, despite the trembling of her hands, writes every day? What moves her to make such an effort? What keeps her alive?
