The village of
Tamaquito lies in the forests of Colombia. Here, nature provides the people
with everything they need. But the WayÁºu community's way of life is being destroyed
by the vast and rapidly growing El CerrejÁ³n coal mine. Determined to save his
community from forced resettlement, young and charismatic leader Jairo Fuentes
sets out to negotiate with the mine's operators. The villagers are promised the
blessings of progress, but the WayÁºu place no value on modern, electrified
houses ... on the so-called better life. Instead, they embark on a fight to save
their life in the forest, which soon becomes a fight to survive.
