“Atrato is Life” is a short documentary that tells the story of how the armed conflict impacted the Atrato River and how the Atrato people, faced with a destructive bloc of armed actors and extractive economies, resisted in order to preserve their way of life. Produced by the Foro Interétnico Solidaridad Chocó y Siembra, the documentary shows how the logic of war has mutated over time, moving from periods of intense disputes to periods of economic pragmatism, leaving enormous socio-environmental impacts in its wake. All this led to the erosion of the ethnic communities’ own systems of territorial administration, altering their economic, productive, cultural and governmental logics.
Temas NoViolencia: MORAL, ECONOMICAL, RACIAL.

FICNOVA recognises this film for providing a demonstration effect of how to resist violence without losing its focus on internal coherence, giving nonviolent responses. An example that is passed on from one to another and that can build the true strength of peoples.
