La empresa minera Pacific Rim ha estado presionando desde hace años por los derechos de perforación en la montaña de El Dorado, un hito irónicamente llamado, en El Salvador con más de $1.3 millones de dólares en oro y metales preciosos. Sin embargo, estos recursos vienen a un precio- intereses graves del medio ambiente y los derechos humanos han causado una resistencia contra la empresa y sus prácticas de minería.

Esta pelicula corta examina a la muerte reciente de un activista Marcelo Rivera, el pleito contra el gobierno de El Salvador, y las conexiones entre los dos.

The Pacific Rim mining company has been lobbying for years for drilling rights under the mountain of El Dorado, an ironically named landmark in El Salvador containing over $1.3 billion worth of gold and precious metals. These resources come at a price however - severe environmental and human rights concerns have fueled a healthy resistance against the company and their mining practices.

This short film takes a close look at the recent death of activist Marcelo Rivera, the current class-action lawsuit against El Salvadors government, and the connections between the two.
