Senderos de libertad

Synopsis of Senderos de libertad

For three years, Javier Moro traveled thousands of kilometers through the Amazon to recreate the epic of the largest colonization plan ever undertaken by man. Through the story of Chico Mendes, a humble rubber tapper turned international bastion of environmental defense, and that of one of the gunmen hired to eliminate him, the drama unfolds of missionaries torn between their loyalty to the Church and their commitment to the poor, of policemen forced to work for murderers, of a group of indigenous people facing thousands of miners settled on their lands, of rubber tappers expelled from their homes in blood and fire. A tribute to those who risk their lives to achieve a little justice in a world that denies them even the recognition of their own existence.
