Short film – Where even the Dead can’t rest
Summary
Rivers are being poisoned, and even graveyards are being dug up in the pursuit of raw minerals.

This short film launched in October 2019 by Gerry McColgan and Garry Walsh of Trócaire, visits the community of Azacualpa to hear their story, and explains why Trócaire is campaigning for a UN treaty that would force international companies to respect human rights in their operations.
