Document 11 Adios Padresitos
Sun 20 October 2013

Adios Padresitos
The only dedicated international human rights documentary festival in Scotland returns for its eleventh outing with a host of exciting screenings, panels, workshops, music and events. Taking place at CCA from Fri 18 to Sun 20 October, this year's programme focuses on reflection and tension between the past and present.
In Adios Padresitos, group of priests receive a mysterious letter from the Vatican. In this letter, they are invited to leave Sucumbios as soon as possible. Sucumbios is a province of Ecuadorian Rainforest, which is immensely rich in petroleum. The Pope appoints the Order of the Gospel Heralds, heirs to the movement Tradition, Family and Property and in view of these facts, Monsignor Gonzalo Lopez decides to start an indefinite hunger strike, camping in a park in Quito.
