Honduras is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists. Fourteen have been killed and more than fifty tortured or threatened by the police and the army.
Since the coup comitted by right wing groups in 2009, the human rights situation has worsened greatly, however, the mass media from Europe or the United States have shown, almost, no interest in this matter.
In this film, INDEPENDENT DOCS explores, from the week of the coup, until today, "why, how and who" stands for the real freedom of expression in a free market system.
World premiere is expected in 2012.
