Description
“Without the land,
we will cease to exist.”
In an unspoiled corner of
southern Belize, cacao farmer and father Eladio Pop manually works his
plantation in the tradition of his Mayan ancestors: as a steward of the land.
A tender and moving family tale, director Rohan Fernando’s lush cinematic
journey intimately captures a year in the life of the Pop family as they
struggle to preserve their values in a world that is suddenly and dramatically
changing. A lament for cultures lost, this timely and vital film challenges
our deeply held assumptions of progress.
