THE HISTORYDocumentary that is placed in the line of fire directly in front of two powerful forces. On one side is President Alan García, who, eager to enter the world stage, aggressively begins the extraction of oil, minerals and gas from the indigenous Amazonian land that had remained intact; while on the other hand, the indigenous Alberto Pizango leads a strong opposition due to the demands of his followers that were ignored. Eventually, the tense war of words erupts into protests and clashes between both sides, escalating to deadly violence. |
