A triumphant and engaging story of truth, struggle and victory, setting a blueprint for rural Latin America and unsettling boardrooms.
Adventurous pioneers transform Peru’s harsh northern desert into a fertile valley of mango and lime orchards. But all they’ve worked for is threatened when gold is discovered under their land. Fear, violence and murder rock their once quiet community. In the midst of chaos, a martyr’s vision unites the farmers and leads them down a revolutionary path of non-violent resistance. These brave men and women take on corrupt politicians and the global mining industry in an epic tale of ordinary people rising to heroic deeds in times of great crisis.

A PUNCH FOR A CHINA A China el Golpe
Two brothers live in the same house and share the same bed. Two brothers who have never been apart and whose bonds became stronger after the death of their parents. Together they have formed a very functional unit, without complaints or demands from either part. It would seem that they have a very clear idea of the roles they must fulfill. However, the day always comes when one wonders what life would be like through the eyes of the other.
