Summary With the program "Retratos", we enter into the biographies of two rural Mexican schoolteachers. Jesús Barragán had barely finished primary school in a small town in Jalisco when he already found himself in front of an chalkboard teaching letters to the children of the day workers and rural workers of his community. Minerva Hernández without forgetting her indigenous roots, has worked for more than thirty years in a small state in ñahñú, the language that the otomi people from the region inherited. The lives of these two teachers, Minerva Hernández and Jesús Barragán, have been an interminable journey that finds its strength from day to day in offering a better future to those who, like them, would normally not have had it.
