Canada’s controversial (and Vancouver-based) Goldcorp—has become the goose that lays golden eggs. Three women—Gregoria, Crisanta, and Diodora, all of whom defied the mine’s operating company, by refusing to sell their land or by being active in resistance efforts—tell their stories throughtout the film. One of them had her home attacked by hooded, gun-firing paramilitaries at night and was forced to watch as her brother burned to death while his assailants prevented her from getting him to medical care. Another was shot through her right eye (the bullet somehow missed her brain) in an assassination attempt while walking her land.
