This video shows a protest that happened in 2004 when Guatemalans took over the largest dam in the country, Chixoy. They were protesting the building of the dam and how it affected them over 20 years before. Now, the people who had to leave their land are living in very poor conditions and don't even benefit from the electricity that is generated by the dam. It was an incredible day and this will be part of a larger documentary. Get in touch with me if you are interested in learning more.

In Spanish, but it is obvious what the protest is about. They don't want to have their land taken away.

No , thats not it, they want fair rates on their electric bill, they dont want to get fucked up by stones that fall from the mountains. Thats it.
