Excellent documentary on the life and murder of renowned Honduran indigenous leader and environmentalist Berta Cáceres. Berta was the winner, the year before her untimely death, of the Goldman environmental prize, considered the Nobel prize for environmentalists.
The film shows us how she led the Lenca people against the destruction of a sacred river. We also see how her movement included solidarity with the Garífuna people, who, along with the Lenca, comprise the two largest indigenous groups in Honduras. The film then delves into the investigation of her murder, which points to members of the Honduran elite and the highest levels of the Honduran government.
