Ana Recalde Miranda | Paraguay / Italy | 80 minutes | 2008 | Spanish
After 35 years under the Stroessner dictatorship, the corrupt Colorado Party (the only political party allowed after the democratic transition) ruled Paraguay for 17 years. In 2008, Fernando Lugo, a former bishop running for president, represents the country’s hope to finally build a better future. La tierra sin mal chronicles the quixotic struggle of MartÃn Almada, an internationally recognized human rights activist who discovered the Archives of Terror, as he fights to expose the links between the old dictatorial system and the corrupted democracy that future president Lugo will inherit. La tierra sin mal was awarded Best Documentary at the Hai Visto Mai Festival in Siena, Italy. [cinelasamericas]
