This is a beautiful film that is about mercury poisoning of the Peruvian mountain people by a Belgian-based mining company. Dozens of people lost their eyesight or got other illnesses. Some died. The movie is done very artistically, with townspeople actually playing parts. Beautiful cinematography of the Andes Mountains. Directors & writers Peter Brosens and Jessica Hope Woodworth.
