In GRANITO our characters sift for clues buried in archives of mind and place and historical memory, seeking to uncover a narrative that could unlock the past and settle matters of life and death in the present. Each of the five main characters whose destinies collide in GRANITO are connected by the Guatemala of 1982, then engulfed in a war where a genocidal &#8220;scorched earth&#8221; campaign by the military exterminated nearly 200,000 Maya people. Now, as if a watchful Maya god were weaving back together threads of a story unraveled by the passage of time, forgotten by most, our characters become integral to the overarching narrative of wrongs done and justice sought that they have pieced together, each adding their granito, their tiny grain of sand, to the epic tale.&#8211;summary from website<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <span><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">DVD 9688<br \/><span style=\"font-size:100%\"><br style=\"font-family: georgia\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;     Normal   0               false   false   false      EN-US   X-NONE   X-NONE                                                     MicrosoftInternetExplorer4                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     &lt;![endif]--><span style=\"font-size:100%\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;line-height: 115%;font-family: georgia\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/27986215\">&#8220;Granito: How To Nail A Dictator&#8221; theatrical trailer<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/skylightpictures\">Skylight Pictures<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;     Normal   0               false   false   false      EN-US   X-NONE   X-NONE                                                     MicrosoftInternetExplorer4                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     &lt;![endif]--><span style=\"font-size:100%\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 115%;font-family: georgia\">Distributor description:  <a href=\"http:\/\/skylightpictures.com\/films\/granito\">http:\/\/skylightpictures.com\/films\/granito<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/><span><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><\/span> <br \/> <\/span>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GRANITO is a story of destinies joined by Guatemala\u2019s past, and how a documentary film intertwined with a nation\u2019s turbulent history emerges as an active player in the present.
