On 2nd December 2009 members of the Peruvian police force entered the village of Cajas Canchaque and opened fire on local farmers who were blocking the road, refusing to let them pass through. Two people were killed in the attack. This film uses footage shot by the local community in the aftermath of the attack and footage of the commemoration event that took place a year later to tell the story of what happened that day.
