Change is Possible
One Woman’s Fight Against Corporate Greed
MAXIMA follows Peruvian indigenious farmer Máxima Acuña in her fight to protect her land as she stands up to the largest gold producer in the world: US-based Newmont Mining Corporation.
Throughout Máxima’s fight for justice, the film provides an illustrative case study in the tactics used by transnational corporations to commit human rights violations and environmental crimes, the role played by non-profits and The World’s Bank, and, ultimately, the resilience of one woman who refuses to back down.
“Máxima’s land dispute is a case about human rights – a citizen’s fight against economic power.”
Environmental Attorney
“Máxima is a symbol for the battle for human rights.”
“A future without clean water is unbearable. It’s a matter of life and death.”
Environmental Minister
“They don’t want the land, they want the gold. Their greed is going to pollute our lakes.”
