Three activists in Latin America resist violence with information, awareness and affection.
Why watch the movie América Armada?
"Interesting, and very necessary, is the premise of 'Armed America'. Directed by Pedro Asbeg ('Democracy in Black and White') and newcomer Alice Lanari, the feature film proposes to be a documentary of cuts. First, it talks about the violent reality of three countries in Latin America: Mexico, with the constant threat of drug trafficking; Colombia with its factions and kidnappings; and Brazil, with a police force that kills and scares more than it protects. From there, we follow the story of a human rights activist in each of these countries who, against shots and weapons, fight with information, care, attention and concern. "The best weapon is to disarm those hearts that still have so much hatred," says one of the interviewees at a certain point, setting the tone. 'Armed America' has its problems and its limitations. But the need for the story goes beyond."
