A mercury spill by the world’s richest gold mining corporation turns Choropampa, a quiet village in the Peruvian Andes, into a hotbed of resistance. Led by a young mayor, its people begin a two-year fight for health care and justice.
I co-directed Choropampa with Stephanie Boyd to record, almost in real time, the real price of gold.
