La Yerbabuena - A community in resistance
Nicolas Défosse / Mexico / 2008 / 40 min / Colour
Italian premiere
Colima, in western Mexico. At the foot of the Volcano of Fire, with the pretext of the danger of being swept away by the eruptions of lava, the residents of the community of La Yerbabuena have been evacuated from their land. In reality, the scope of this operation is to increase tourism in the area by building a new residential complex next to the luxurious hotel whose principal attraction is its view of the volcano. However, despite strong pressure, some families decide to remain on their land and to resist, and succeed in involving the Zapatistas and other, nearby communities, in their struggle.
