Abajo y a la izquierda

Synopsis

A filmic collage that sketches out a particular imagined and desired territory located "down and to the left" of the hegemonic world map. Photographs taken at Cerro Blanco-Guayaquil, a land whose protection and destruction are overseen by the Swiss construction materials company HOLCIM, intertwine with the voices of rebellious radios from Latin America and the Caribbean that call for the liberation of the land.
