In the departments of Alto Paraná, Canindeyú, Caaguazú and Itapúa, diverse communities known to us silent and violent struggle to preserve their culture, to the relentless advance of "progress".
- The audiovisual "In Search of Good Living" wants to present the main features of Good Living in two indigenous cultures of Paraguay, very different from one another: one from the Western Region, the Nivaclé, and another from the Eastern Region, the Pai Tavytera. Noting this path of Evil Living that has led us to raw materialism and inhuman de-spiritualization, which now manifests itself in a deep crisis.

- In the 1970s, some 36 Ava Guaraní indigenous communities, from the subgroup called Paranaense, inhabitants of the Paraguayan riverside of Paraná, were displaced against their will for the construction of the Itaipú hydroelectric dam, one of the largest in the world. Violating international treaties, the Ava Guaraní were destined to small territories that they had to share with other groups, far from the waters of the Paraná, losing their old habitat that went from the Saltos del Guairá, in Canindeyú, to the Saltos del Monday, in Alto Paraná . Since their expulsion, none of them has received a territorial compensation from the hydroelectric company that belongs to the States of Brazil and Paraguay, many of them even today continue fighting for the recognition of their communities.
- Guarani Kokue shows the experience of Guaraní communities since the 80s, when the fences of the large estates were setting limits to the world they knew, being forced to have to fight, with the help of various organizations, to ensure territories where they could live according to your culture. Joining forces through long processes of organization between the different communities, the current struggle is to defend the territories won and to continue recovering, in the face of new antagonists that do not give truce, wooden dealers, soybeans, cattle ranchers, narcos.
- This documentary tells a part of the forgotten history of the Mbya Guaraní people who ancestrally inhabited the basin and islands of the southern Paraná in Paraguay and Argentina (Departments of Itapúa and Misiones). In the 80's, they were exiled from their lands without consultation or compensation, violating international treaties, for the construction of the Yacyreta (EBY) binational hydroelectric plant in Paraguay and Argentina. Similar situation lived other members of this town in nearby regions, affected by the colonization of the Paraná riverbank, ending all cornered in small communities. The displaced tell their story, and tour their ancient Tekoha, their sacred places, to which they do not have access today because they have become the property of EBY or private estates. Survivors originating from these lands are currently demanding compensation for the granting of the last Itapúa forests for native peoples, so that they can be protected, as a national park.
