Synopsis
The Carrizalillo ejido in Guerrero is home to Mexico’s largest gold deposit, yet its population lives in poverty. At the beginning of 2007, the population organised to demand that the mining company Goldcorp, a Canadian transnational, pay a fair rent for the land it exploits and provide social benefits for the community. Open Air is the story of a people who organised, fought and won.
