Pourquoi les hommes brûlent-ils?

Synopsis

On January 31, 1980, in Guatemala, while the civil war between the military dictatorship and the Marxist guerrillas dragged on, 32 representatives of Indian peasant associations came from the four corners of the country and peacefully occupied the Spanish embassy, to claim their rights. None come out alive. All are burned alive by the ruling military junta. Only the ambassador survives.
