Synopsis:
In the northern province of Niassa, Mozambique, one company, Chikweti, set up with investments by Swedish and Norwegian churches and the Dutch pension fund, ABP is establishing large tree plantations. Chikweti not only promised their investors a large financial return, but also claimed it would deliver jobs, environmental protection and community development to the region. It seemed a win-win for everyone.
This documentary follows the story of one of the plantation workers, Amado. He wants to improve the conditions of his fellow workers in the Chikweti plantation of Licole, Mozambique. He’s frightened and often intimidated in pursuit of this goal, while facing an apathetic union, a hard-nosed manager, and a group of elders determined to halt his actions.
But will Amado achieve the support he needs from his fellow workers and local peasant farmers while facing up to the company management?
We discover the answer when he and a new local union confront Chikweti by rallying the local peasant farmers and plantation workers to stand together.
