The State of the Land

For several years now I have been walking with a young couple through their struggle against a Canadian mining company in Mexico and their flight to Canada as a result. The documentary attached here was prepared by a young Montreal filmaker. Enrique has an unusual story as a refugee in Canada fleeing a Canadian mining company. You will find it on the internet here.

(The photo is of Enrique, with a band of activists from several countries officially "opening" a gold mine on Mount Royal in the heart of Montreal.  It drew quit a bit of attention to the struggle)
