A song for my land (Una canción para mi tierra )

Mauricio Albornoz Iniesta

A song for my land

In a rural town in Argentina, Ramiro Lezcano, a charismatic music teacher, discovers a disturbing reality affecting the region: airplanes and ground fertilizing machines spray near rural schools, endangering the health of his students. Determined to take action, Ramiro joins his students to write songs that denounce this silent tragedy and raise awareness. However, his initiative faces fierce resistance: the local community, dependent on the prevailing agricultural model, rejects the project, and the media ignores his cause. Faced with this censorship, Ramiro decides to take his protest further and attempts to organize an "Environmental Woodstock" in the countryside, where his music and fight can resonate powerfully and reach everyone.
