Overview

Mirage of El Dorado leads us into the mountains of northern Chile, where the devastating operations of Canadian mining companies threaten a fragile ecosystem in one of the driest parts of the globe. This ยซ political cowboy flickยป follows the pitched battle between a farming community in the Huasco valley and Canadaโ€™s mining giant Barrick Gold with its sidekick Noranda (now part of the Suisse corporation Xstrata). Itโ€™s a battle fought high in the Andes cordillera where farmers and local representatives fear the ravages of open pit mining operations in a place where a fragile system of glaciers feeds the rivers that flow into the farmlands built out of the advancing Atacama desert.
