Granitos

documentary

Nice three-part piece on the genocide in Guatemala in the 80's...supported by the US and carried out against the native Mayan people by the rich elite who coveted their land and resources. Although there has been some progress bringing the evil perps to justice the biggest fish still swim freely.

The film was done by a woman who covered the war as a young idealist. She has shed her ideals at this point but still works for justice. Each person is a grain of sand. Individually they mean nothing but collectively can effect real change.

Solid, well done.
