CHICANA traces Chicana and Mexican women from pre‑Columbian eras to today, emphasizing their roles in Aztec society, the 1810 Mexican independence struggle, the 1872 U.S. labor strikes, the 1910 Mexican Revolution, and modern civil‑rights activism. Through murals, engravings and archival footage, the film reveals how, despite poverty, these women have become vocal participants in the political and economic life of both Mexico and the United States.
