UNA CANCIÓN PARA MI TIERRA
Argentina, 96 min., 2024.
Dir:Mauricio Albornoz Iniesta
In a country town in Argentina, Ramiro Lezcano, a charismatic music teacher, discovers a disturbing fact that is standard practice in the region: airplanes and land fertilizer machines fumigate near rural schools, jeopardizing the health of their students. Ramiro decides to take action and, with inventiveness and empathy, joins the children to write songs to raise awareness of this silent tragedy and mobilize the community.
However, his initiative meets with fierce resistance: the community, caught up in the productive model that sustains it, rejects the project and the local media ignores his work. Faced with such censorship, Ramiro decides to take their protest to another level: organizing a massive concert in the middle of the countryside, an "environmental Woodstock".
But the path to the event is full of obstacles. From lack of support to veiled threats, Ramiro and his students are forced to face all sorts of challenges.
