Nebaj

Nebaj is a drama and biographical film, directed by Kenneth Muller, that tells the story of Tomas Guzaro, a man born in 1950 who would become an Ixil pastor, saving the lives of more than 250 villagers from violent guerrilla warfare during Guatemala's armed conflict. Born in the foothills of Cerro Sumal, a Mayan place for the Ixil group, as a child, his country suffered a turning point when an elected government broke the tradition of landowner partiality and decided to distribute land among villagers, causing a protest movement that became militarized. Guzaro, then, was instrumental in leading a defection movement, preventing the guerrillas from using the Ixil regions as a base, which triggered the guerrilla armed forces to attack the inhabitants and led the pastor to sacrifice everything to help his people.
