Sinopsis: Montana Explotadora is a mining company that extracts minerals from an open-cast gold mine. In 2005, the town of Sipakapa held a community vote to decide whether to permit mining there. The result was a resounding NO. This film analyses the issue of mining and pays tribute to this Mayan community's Sipakapa's dignity in standing up a major neoliberal project.
Festivals: Premiada a la Mostra de Cinema i Cooperació.
