Popoli Highlights: CHACO
CHACO
Directed by: Daniele Incalcaterra, Fausta Quattrini (Argentine, Italy, Switzerland, 2018, 104’)
A single, stubborn, and determined man has been fighting for years to preserve a portion of Chaco, the vast Paraguayan forest that is constantly attacked by deforestation, which would leave room to industrial farming of transgenic meat and soya. That man is Daniele Incalcaterra, a film-maker, and this battle is also his film project. Chaco records the different phases of a process where the logics of red tape and financial interests are opposed to an inalienable sense of Justice.
