- Synopsis:
- In this tense and immersive documentary, audiences are taken directly into the line of fire between opposing Peruvian leaders who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. On the one side is President Alan Garcia, who, eager to enter the world stage, begins aggressively extracting oil, gas, and minerals from untouched Amazonian land. He is met with fierce opposition from indigenous leader Alberto Pizango, whose impassioned speeches against Garcia's destructive actions prove a powerful rallying cry to throngs of his supporters. When Garcia continues to ignore their pleas, a tense war of words erupts into deadly violence.
