| Synopsis | Máxima, an indigenous woman from the Peruvian Andes who cannot read or write, stands up to the largest gold producer in the world, US-based Newmont Mining Corporation. She fights to stop a multi-billion-dollar mining project launched by Newmont and partially financed by the World Bank. This project would forever destroy and contaminate critical water and land ecosystems. But without Máxima’s land, the project is not possible. A land dispute quickly turns into a landmark case of human rights abuse. The environment and countless lives are at stake, so Máxima fights on. |
