land where people have known nothing but war, a tightly
knit and fiercely proud people, the Nasa, fight for the
land stolen from their ancestors while fending off the
violence encroaching on their nation. Their charismatic
leader is Lucho Acosta, 39, an imposing tactician
descended from Indian warriors. He knows from experience
that violence only breeds more violence. But facing
nearly insurmountable odds, Lucho’s beliefs are tested
to their very core. The future of the Nasa hang in the
balance. Directed by Margarita Martinez and Miguel
Salazar Aparicio.</span></p>

<p><strong>Margarita Martinez</strong>, Colombian
filmmaker and journalist, Martínez recently finished
“Stolen Land” on the indigenous struggle for land in
Colombia. Her first film, the 2005 documentary “La
Sierra,” won numerous international awards for its
raw depiction of Medellín street gangs. She is about
to complete “Sniffing the Rainforest,” a documentary
that focuses on the environmental damage wrought by
the cocaine trade, expected to be released this
Fall. She also directed two shorts. “The battle of
silence,” about the murder of a regional journalist
in Colombia and the impunity surrounding homicides
against journalists in Latin America, (2007). Her
second short is “En la tierra del olvido” the
Colombian chapter of a BBC series on sexual and
reproductive rights, shown on 2008. For seven years,
Martinez covered Colombia’s civil conflict for the
Associated Press, moving with ease among Marxist
guerrilla chiefs and their arch-enemies, the
commanders of right-wing death squads. She got her
start at NBC in New York in 1998. Educated as a
lawyer in Colombia, Martinez earned masters degrees
in journalism and international affairs from
Colombia University. She was a Nieman Fellow at
Harvard University in 2009.</p>
