| Summary: | After numerous attempts to shut down an illegal highway that is destroying crops, old growth forest and water supplies while clearing the way for invaders to usurp their communally-owned ancestral lands, the Afro-indigenous Garifuna population turned to video to protect their families from physical, cultural and environmental destruction by corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen in Northern Honduras. Politically and economically marginalized for their race and unique culture and history, the Comite de Emergencia Garifuna de Honduras recently collaborated with WITNESS to produce both a Spanish and English documentary about their struggle.
