About the movie :
”In the mid-1980s, the Swedish mining company Boliden sent 20,000 tons of toxic waste to the Chilean city of Arica. The waste contained large amounts of arsenic, lead, and mercury. As a result, thousands of people are suspected to have suffered from cancer, birth defects, and neurological diseases. Now, they demand justice. It is an investigative documentary courtroom drama about how the citizens of the small town of Arica in Chile take one of the world’s largest mining companies to court in Sweden.”
