Mirage of El Dorado - trailer

Mirage of El Dorado, the new film by Martin Frigon, will be released in August 2008 by Productions Multi-Monde. It takes us high into the Andes of northern Chile where Canadian-owned Barrick Gold, the biggest gold producer in the world, is set to move glaciers if necessary to get at the mineral riches beneath. The area borders on the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth, and many people in the Huasca Valley and beyond fear for their source of water and the glaciers that help supply it. The struggle around Pascua Lama is a David and Goliath confrontation with global consequences in an isolated region far from public scrutiny. More information at http://www.pmm.qc.ca
