| Synopsis |
| |
| Adventurous pioneers transform Peru's harsh northern desert into a
fertile valley of mango and lime orchards. But all they've worked for is
threatened when gold is discovered under their land. Fear, violence and
murder rock their once quiet community. In the midst of chaos, a martyr's
vision unites the farmers and leads them down a revolutionary path of
non-violent resistance. These brave men and women take on corrupt
politicians and the global mining industry in an epic tale of ordinary
people rising to heroic deeds in times of great crisis. |

| The Rights Angle 2009 |
| |
| Neo-liberal policies in Latin America emphasize on free trade and cheap labour. They have forced out independent
national industries in lieu of large international corporations. The collusion between the Peruvian government and a multinational
mining corporation represents a clear denial of the property and representation rights of the citizens of
Tambogrande. |
