Amelina "Coca" San Martín grew up in a remote Patagonian location
inside the volcanic caldera of an extinct supervolcano, rich in
archaeological and paleontological remains. Her humble life passes by
amidst her world-famous archaeological collection, her cats, her fish
and her beloved "choikes".

This is the story of a global genocide unfolding worldwide as small
farmers are being dispossessed of their land and way of life as
corporate agribusinesses accelerate the global trend of land grabbing.
As «Free Trade» and neoliberal policies annihilate protective levers
that were allowing themselves decent incomes, small-holding farmers
are left in a cycle of debt and despair, with a scary rise of
suicides, cancer and migration that can only lead them to 21st century
slavery survival. |

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
