Experiencing Interruptions?

A Land Memory

A Land Memory asks after the response-ability of the living to the dead and the land they lay inside. The story revolves around the lives and deaths of farmworkers in Colombia, the state-sanctioned murder of Lenca land defender--Berta Cáceres-- and the filmmaker's own relation to their birth-land of Honduras.
