Threatened with death, three people in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico fight against violence fueled by the State and the arms industry using weapons such as information, awareness, and affection.

The documentary follows Brazilian activist Raul Santiago, who has founded several social projects as a human rights defender; Mexican photojournalist Beto Walls, who covers social movements throughout Latin America and lives with the constant threat of being a journalist in the most dangerous country to practice this profession; and Teresita Gaviria, founder of Madres de La Candelaria and mother of Juan Camilo, who disappeared 18 years ago, a victim of state violence in Colombia.

Notes on Film

“Whether it is the deaths we count or the weapons that flood the countries, whether it is the news we read or the music we listen to, violence is part of the daily life of millions of people who live with it in a banal way.”

– Alice Lanari, Director
