Robatierra plot

In the struggle of the people of NASA in Colombia to recover the stolen land of their ancestors, Lucho Acosta is the charismatic leader. NASA considers farming the land a livelihood. Acosta knows from experience that violence breeds more and more violence, which is why he wants a nonviolent struggle. Occupying land is allowed, but using violence is not allowed. But how do you maintain that when you are caught between the violence of the rebels and that of the Colombian army? How do you convince others not to resort to weapons? Acosta raises the political level of NASA's fight to reclaim their land. Twenty years ago, an agreement was reached on this issue for the last time. Then this resulted in a bloodbath. Now it doesn't look much better.
