A bold opening cut, from the explosions in a Colombian mine to the chorus of a German Choir, trumpets the entrance of a culture clash of epic proportions . In this masterfully shot doc, patient details unspool the story of the willing displacement of a native Colombian community from their coal rich land to a dry, infertile land. Despite valiant efforts for a fair contract, the native leaders recognize deceit far too late and we are left to realize we've borne witness to the final days in their lush personal Eden, gone forever. The permanence of this films ending rings out in my memory, years after I've seen it.
