"El Impenetrable" follows the story of director Daniele Incalcaterra who wants to establish a national park with land left to him by his father.
The land is a part of the Paraguayan Chaco, one of the world's last virgin territories.
The massive demand for land from GM soybean growers and cattle ranchers is leading to the destruction of the forest and displacement of indigenous communities.
It's a real-life account of the struggle for land and resources.
Q&A
Elias Diaz Pena, Award winning Paraguayan Environmentalist and Coordinator of Friends of the Earth Paraguay will share his experiences and answer questions from the audience.
He'll be joined by Nick Rau from Friends of the Earth UK, who has been working closely with Elias and Friends of the Earth Paraguay to protect land and people's rights.
