hydroelectric power plant threatens the valley of the Magdalena
River, its flora, fauna, people and their way of living. A group
of peasants and fishermen, who have grown up under the shadow of
“El Gigante” (the giant), struggles against the multinational
companies Enel, Endesa and Impregilo. These companies are
constructing the power plant despite the voices of disagreement
but with the blatant complicity of the State institutions and the
protection of the Army. Through the voices of the protagonists and
the actions undertaken to protest, the documentary shows a year of
a struggle that has not yet finished.</p>
