THE BLACK TREE

At the centre of the Earth there is a black tree: those who can reach it may be able to talk to the trees, send messages through birds and heal curses.​
Sunday 20 March | Session 10:30 AM + Q+A 12:00PM
Director: Máximo Ciambella & Damián Coluccio | 2018 | Argentina | 79 mins | 12A | Documentary | Qom with subtitles ​

Q&A with Jessie Gibbs (HOME) and Ignacio Aguiló (Manchester University)
​
With a host of awards and stunning cinematography, this beautiful and poetic documentary follows Martín, an indigenous goat farmer from the Qom (or Toba) community in Argentina who is trying to find out why his precious goats are dying. Their sickness is a metaphor for his people's land, which is being bulldozed and destroyed by huge multinational agribusinesses. In their fight for land rights, the Qom organize demonstrations and conduct roadblocks, mostly in vain, and still the goats keep dying. Martín turns to an ancient and magical solution: a pilgrimage to the elusive Black Tree, with its mythical power to break a curse. Will he find the answers there?​
