Director: Hollman Morrs | Producer: Hollman Morris and Minority Rights Group
Focus Years: 2012 | Country: United Kingdom
Synopsis:
Afro-Colombians have been carrying out small-scale mining in Colombia’s Cauca region since their ancestors settled there in 1637. Today their descendants continue to chip away at the red earth in search of gold, seeing it not only as a means for earning a modest living, but also as an activity deeply linked to their culture. In this beautifully-filmed documentary we hear of the Afro-Colombian community of La Toma’s brave, and sometimes deadly, struggle to prevent the invasion of mining companies and defend their ancestral livelihoods at all costs.
