RESISTENCIA
THE FIGHT FOR THE AGUAN VALLEY
When a coup d'état ousts the only president they ever believed in, these farmers take over the plantations of the wealthiest man in the country. With no plans to ever give them back.
“A thoroughly captivating window into history as never told by the winners. Beautiful, enraging, profoundly inspiring.” - Naomi Klein, Author of the bestsellers No Logo, The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything.
Beginning with the first coup in Central America in three decades, the film picks up the story of the farmers who responded to the coup by taking over the palm oil plantations of the most powerful man in Honduras and converting them into a co-operative farm. The camera follows three of the movement's protagonists and a popular journalist from the capital city over the four years between the coup and the elections the farmers hope will return democracy to Honduras. But will the same people who took power by the bullet give it up by the ballot?
