“ALGÚN DÍA ES MAÑANA” di Ricardo Torres

DOCUMENTARY: “ALGÚN DÍA ES MAÑANA – TOMORROW WILL COME”

The story of how the farmer community of Las Pavas have been struggling peacefully in order to stay in their territory and get back their land. The displaced families decide to return to the land from which they have been evicted forcefully several times and where nowadays a huge monoculture Project of African oil palm is flourishing.

A small farming community in Colombia peacefully resists, defending their right to cultivate and live on the land of their ancestors. An agro-industrial farming association tries to drive them out using constant threats and attacks to enforce the monoculture of oil palm. Forcefully displaced from their land on multiple occasions, the community of Las Pavas decides to return, to rebuild their settlements, and restart the cultivation of their own food. Their main instrument of resistance is music; powerful songs that narrate their experiences and become the soundtrack of a tragic story, but full of hope with an ending yet uncertain.

El documental de algo más de 70 minutos es un triste reflejo de la realidad que viven a diario comunidades campesinas, indígenas y afrodescendientes de todo el territorio nacional, quienes no solo son victimas de los grupos armados y del conflicto de más de cinco décadas si no que entran a jugar actores como las multinacionales y grandes emporios económicos.

Esta comunidad que ha sido símbolo de lucha pacifica por sus derechos fue ganadora del premio Nacional de paz 2013 por su lucha abnegada y paciente de más de una década.
