Cine Latino: A Song For My Land

This documentary features Ramiro Lezcano, a teacher who believes in the transformative power of music. In a rural school in Argentina, he sets out to bring children into the world of artistic creation. What begins as a simple exercise in writing and singing songs, soon opens a window onto a reality that cannot be ignored: the agrochemical spraying taking place in the farming area surrounding the school. The children begin to write about what they see, feel, and experience.

As the songs grow, so does the project. Faced with resistance from local farmers and silence from parts of the media, Ramiro proposes an audacious idea: a great open-air musical gathering in the countryside—an environmental Woodstock. Artists join them, and what began with a handful of children and a song becomes a powerful collective movement, culminating in a massive concert featuring renowned Latin American folk and rock legends such as León Gieco, Lito Vitale, Pablo Milanés, and Rubén Blades.
