SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colombia is in a state of upheaval: In SUMERC\u00c9, Victoria Solana documents the land grabs, the state of the environmental and the political situation, following the lives of smallholder farmers in the province of Boyac\u00e1 as they struggle against new forms of economic colonialism. If they don\u2019t have land, they don\u2019t have food. It\u2019s a David versus Goliath struggle once again. What can the farmers do together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colombia faces huge economic and ecological challenges. Many smallholder farmers earn a living in the fragile ecosystem of the P\u00e1ramo, with its mountains and savannah. But their livelihoods are at risk because Colombia\u2019s neoliberalist opening has sparked a great deal of greed among multinational corporations. There are grand plans to mine the coal beneath the fertile land, regardless of the consequences. The local smallholder farmers refuse to give up their resistance. The director spent several years filming on location and accompanying those who refuse to watch helplessly as their livelihoods and environment are destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
