In the organizer's words:
A village community from the indigenous Wayúu people in the Colombian rainforest is resisting resettlement for the world's largest open-cast coal mine.
The village of Tamaquito is located in the forests of northern Colombia. Nature provides the people here with everything they need to live. But the villagers' livelihood is being destroyed by coal mining in the "El Cerrejón" mine: the huge hole, the largest open-cast coal mine in the world at 700 km², is eating into the once untouched landscape. Coal from Colombia is used by coal-fired power plants in Germany and around the world to produce the electricity that makes life fast, bright and warm.
Jairo Fuentes, the spokesman for the village community, wants to prevent the violent eviction of his community and agrees to negotiations with the mine operators. The companies promise the villagers the blessings of progress, but they do not value modern houses and a so-called "better life". They begin the fight for their lives in the forests, which soon becomes a struggle for survival.
