About the film
A film by Erika Gonzalez Ramirez & Matthieu Lietaert
Belgium 2022, 58 min
Spanish, English, Portuguese spoken with various subtitles
Three women share a common goal: Carolina, Bertha and Maxima are leading today's fight against modern conquistadors. Whereas governments and corporations, trapped in a global race towards unlimited growth, need to get the cheapest raw materials, these three women tell us a story of tireless courage: how to keep fighting to protect nature when your life is at risk?

What people are saying
““With breathtaking images, this doc is both a tribute to the selfless activists in places like Peru, Honduras and Brazil and a wake-up call for the rest of the world.””
32nd Film Festival Cologne
““The film provides a real point of departure for considerations about how the regulation could effectively minimise the negative impacts of businesses on workers, communities and the environment.””
