Short Film and talk by Marcelo Sabuc Xalcut.
Marcelo Sabuc Xalcut is the National Coordinator of the Comite Campesino del Altiplanto (CCDA, Highlands Committee of Small-Farmers) in Guatemala. He is Maya-Kaqchikel from San Lucas Toliman, Sololá and has worked for the CCDA since 2000. As a result of his work with the CCDA, Marcelo has received threats and is a target of criminalization, facing unfounded charges for political reasons.
The CCDA supports 30,000 Indigenous small farmers throughout the country in struggles for access to and defense of land and territory through advocacy, the production of coffee for export and the promotion of sustainable agriculture. The CCDA's work challenges the status quo in Guatemala, making their members targets of ongoing repression. This year alone, several members of the CCDA and a sister campesino organization have been killed in a wave of attacks against human rights.
