This documentary explores the strategy of occupation and aggression being led by the Colombian government against the Nasa Peoples of Northern Cacua, Colombia.
Through the government's "strategy of social recuperation of territory" --- more commonly known as "Plan Colombia II," the government is attempting to occupy the ancestral lands of the Nasa and subjugate the People, so that it may integrate them into the market economy.
This would mean the end of the Nasa's social process, and of their ancestral culture.
The documentary was scripted and produced by members of the communication network of the Association of Indigenous Authorities of Northern Cauca (ACIN), http://nasaacin.org
