Synopsis castellano:
Este “documental de carretera” rodado desde México hasta Bolivia, da voz a diferentes líderes indígenas (zapoteco, wayuu, aimara…) que actualmente se encuentran en constante confrontación a diferentes corporaciones trasnacionales.
Aquí somos sirve además de vehículo de expresión para explicar como la forma de vida indígena se reivindica a sí misma como alternativa valida y digna de cara al cambio climático, y a la crisis mundial de alimentos y petróleo.
