This is the soundtrack song to the film Justicia Now. Although it was written about the indigenous peoples of Ecuador, it covers all indigenous peoples of the worlds struggle for rights to lands they have inhabited for thousands of years. “Justicia Now!” is a recently completed documentary about ChevronTexaco's toxic legacy in the Northern Ecuadorian region of the Amazon rainforest - and a courageous group of people called Los Afectados (The Affected Ones) who are seeking justice for the ensuing cancer, sickness and death in the largest environmental class action lawsuit in history. We have released the song commercially to raise money for the Non-profit Mofilms to help it carry on its work highlighting important social stories that are under reported from around the world.
