Olancho

A film by Ted Griswold and Chris Valdes

This feature-length documentary is about a group of musicians in the most lawless province in Honduras, the most murderous country in the world. It is the story of a band that performs for the powerful drug cartels there. Their songs glorify the traffickers who have destroyed their country and who sometimes threaten the lives of their loved ones. But in a world where the cartels are the highest power, do the musicians have any other choice?
