Profiles and interviews reveal how individual lives are shaped by ongoing atrocities. Journalists wait to report on the next murder victim, a social worker helps the relatives of women who have been killed, former rebels mourn their comrades, and a war criminal has nightmares about all the things he's done. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>While offering a profile of the ongoing violence in today's society, the film looks to historical events — told through the use of archival footage — from Guatemala's colonial history and place in the global banana trade, to the roots of its 36-year civil war, to try to understand how a culture of violence is created.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>SELECTED SCREENINGS &amp; AWARDS</b><br /><i>Nominee</i>, Austrian Film Prize, "Best Documentary"<br />In Between the Seas Competition, Jihlava</div><div>Festival del Film Locarno – Semaine de la Critique<br />Muestra de Cine Europeo, Segovia<br />FIPATEL, Biarritz<br />Diagonale, Graz<br />DocuDays, Kiev<br />Doha - Al Jazeera Documentary Film Festival<br />Muestra de Cine Internacional, Guatemala<br />Internationales Film Festival, Innsbruck<br />Open City Docs Festival, London<br />Document 10, Glasgow<br />Mar del Plata Film Festival<br /></div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/ofner-fritz-c503all.aspx">Ofner, Fritz</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
