FRONTIERS OF LIFE
Agribusiness and mega mining expansion in Northwestern Argentina
43 minutes
Synopsis
"The conquest of the land that today is known as America, has meant centuries of exploitation and theft of natural resources in the name of "civilization and progress", leading to the extermination of natural and cultural diversities.
This process has continued until today. In Northwestern Argentina the expansion of soy and sugar cane monocultures and mega mining projects cause pollution, deforestation, death and conflicts over millions of hectares of land. Here, indigenous peoples and peasant communities resist the progress of destruction, in the frontiers of life."
