Visit Beautiful Costa Rica!
A local tour guide, the filmmaker’s father, leads an expedition through two neighboring towns: Conchal, whose land is owned almost entirely by Westin Resorts, and Brasilito, one of the last coastal pueblos in Costa Rica, presenting both the public and private impacts of working in the tourism industry from the workers themselves as they critique an American ideology that sees travel as an escapist and extractive process.
