directed by Marc Wiese, Germany, Ecuador, 2022, 93 min., original version with Italian subtitles
 

China has an insatiable thirst for natural resources and it has operated aggressively over the past decade to exploit the resources of Ecuador, the Latin American country that has currently contracted the highest number of debts with the Asian Giant. Paúl Jarrín Mosquera leads the native resistance against the exploitation of his country, while Chinese diplomacy is using the Ecuadorian Government to turn the country into a new colony, after making it dependent on credit through a series of unsustainable treaties. When journalist Fernando Villavicencio unveiled this plotting and gained access to the contracts between the two countries, the government sought to silence him too. Both men are fighting for freedom against a superpower and against corruption.
