Turn on the radio. Tune in to a station that shouldn’t exist. Sense the air thicken with thoughts and words from below. Witness the emergencies of war, rampant capitalism and inequality, colonial aftermaths, and environmental decline. Galvanized by distinct and unconventional media practices, filmmakers hone our ears to underground frequencies of dissent that amplify unquiet voices ringing in the fight for liberation and restorative justice.

A film collage that attempts to delineate a concrete, imagined, and desired territory that is situated “below and to the left” of the hegemonic world mapping. Photographs taken in Cerro Blanco, Guayaquil, a territory whose protection and destruction are both administered by the Swiss building materials company HOLCIM, meet the voices of rebel radios from Latin America and the Caribbean clamoring for the liberation of the land.
