Songs Of Injustice will be released in December
From the same team responsible for the documentary The Metal Islands , which discusses the Heavy Metal scene in the Caribbean islands, a documentary about Metal in Latin American countries will be released in December of this year.
Songs Of Injustice focuses on the music scenes in Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Argentina, and will showcase how local bands use music to address the social issues that affect them.
Director Nelson Varas-Días, from Florida International University, says that "The film will put an end to the myth that Metal artists from the region did not engage with the social and political issues of their time and context."
“Metal in Latin America has been extremely reflective of where it is embedded. These artists have lived through political repression, dictatorships, torture, the murder of indigenous populations, and extreme neoliberal policies that privatized their water supplies. These issues are reflected in their music, and we have been granted the privilege of engaging in in-depth conversations with local musicians about these themes. We can't wait for the world to see this.”
