Product Details
Overview
Madre de Dios es un ecothriller que revela el espantoso atentado que se comete todos los días contra el bosque tropical más extenso del mundo.
Marcela, una activista en profundo duelo tras el asesinato de su esposo, intenta explicarse el crimen ocurrido cuando ambos filmaban un documental sobre el ecocidio perpetrado por la minería ilegal en la región de Madre de Dios, Perú, donde, violando las normas ambientales y en complicidad con funcionarios del gobierno y grupos criminales, los mineros extraen oro de los lechos de los ríos. A pesar de la tragedia, Marcela decide continuar con el proyecto documental y se sumerge en un viaje tanto físico como emocional por la Amazonía. Pero la misma película que su marido dejó inconclusa podría revelar al homicida, alguien que Marcela no imaginaba y que pondrá en evidencia que la violencia ha infectado también el corazón mismo de los pueblos amazónicos.
Con un ritmo espectacular, Madre de Dios se adentra además en el pasado de los protagonistas y sus más oscuros miedos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Madre de Dios is an ecothriller that reveals the horrific attack that is committed every day against the largest tropical forest in the world.
Marcela, an activist in deep mourning after the murder of her spouse, tries to explain the crime that occurred when they were both filming a documentary about the ecocide perpetrated by illegal mining in the Madre de Dios region of Peru, where, in violation of environmental regulations and in complicity with government officials and criminal groups, miners extract gold from riverbeds. Despite the tragedy, Marcela decides to continue with the documentary project and immerses herself in both a physical and emotional journey through the Amazon. But the same film that her husband left unfinished could reveal the murderer, someone Marcela did not imagine and who will show that violence has also infected the very heart of the Amazonian peoples.
With a spectacular rhythm, Madre de Dios also delves into the past of the protagonists and their darkest fears.
