The film showcases the struggle of 1300 Afro-Colombian families of La Toma, Colombia who are not only fighting to protect their livelihood consisting of small-scale gold mining from being displaced by industrial mining, but also fighting to protect their lives from unscrupulous paramilitary. Following the lives of two local women, Clemencia Carabali and Francia Marquez, "The War We Are Living" tells the story of class conflict, racism and political corruption embroiled in a time of unrest post-civil war.
