Tambogrande - 52min. documentary

September 2007
As the trial of Peru's ex-president Alberto Fujimori gets underway, we take a closer look at one of his most extravagant legacies. There was nothing President Fujimori enjoyed more than entertaining the global press by posing: weight-lifting gold bars, eyes glinting with greed. But what happens when gold is found on land on which simple people have based their livelihoods? This is the story of the community of Tambogrande, of how they took on the corporate mining gods and their own President, and of how they won.

QUE YO SEPA NO HAY NINGUN PUEBLO EN PERU QUE SE HAYA BENEFICIADO DE UNA MINA EN SU LOCALIDAD. Los gobiernos prometen, cualquiera prometa pero al final nunca le toca nada al pueblo que se contamina con la mina.

Si, pero sería más fácil acabar con el negocio de los intermediarios que hacen pobre al campesino en vez de dejar sin fuente de trabajo directa a una población eminentemente campesina... ¿O no?

A joke??? Palestine thing??? It's so sad that so many people refuse

to see the truth even when presented with all the facts. God must love ignorant people since he created so many:)

they buy much of guns and munitions

Yeah, that's right...must be Israel, of course. Funny how Palestina receives US$1.2 billion per year in aid from US and EU ALONE. Where does all that money go? Could it be some of the no-longer so secret Fatah bank accounts containing US$10 billion? And before we start talking about the pure Hamas, Iran and Syria contribute $300 million x year in supplying weapons....the Palestinian situation is awful indeed, but there are other things Palestinians should look at before using the Israel card.
