Embera: The End of the Road
- Synopsis
- Shows the effects of interaction between the river-dwelling Embera Indians who live in the Choco region of Colombia and two groups of outsiders: the Libres, descendants of freed slaves with whom they trade, and the local Catholic mission which administers education, religion and civil justice. Although the Embera are exploited by the Libres, both groups are poor and largely without rights in Colombian society. They want protection from the physical attacks of the Libres and legal rights over the land which they have inhabited for many years. Now the Embera are under threat from the construction of the last section of the Pan-American highway.
