““I believe that Argentine Metal comes from the working class. It was born in resistance to exploitation. It’s an obligation for me, within Metal, to have a critical stance towards this society.
Having social demands and accompanying struggles is also part of that.”

Metal can become a raging battle cry against injustice and inequality.
This is what this documentary shows through the journey of three “Pachamama fighters” (which could be translated as “fighters for Mother Earth”). By following these actors and actresses of Jujuy’s metal scene, ‘Zona de Aguante’ probes the anger of a people.
An immersion in the din of an indigenous and furious Argentina.
An unprecedented epic of sound, feedback and guttural chants.
