Newen Mapuche, la Fuerza de la Gente de la Tierra plot

The documentary tells the struggle of the indigenous communities, the Mapuche in Chile, to regain their territories. Through the anti-terrorism law that was applied to their leaders and the repression by the Chilean government, they suffered many losses and had to pay a high price. The filmmaker herself was also arrested during the filming and spent a long time in prison. She therefore integrates her personal experience in this documentary.
