There is Nothing Else (Otra cosa no hay) (NR)

synopsis

In the highlands of Colombia, the accessible gold contained in a single mountain has sustained a town for four hundred years, since the region was colonized. The town's local economy and sense of community has been relatively stable, even during the country's long civil war, allowing the population
to maintain decent and honorable livings. Nearby, the Páramo de Santurbán, an ecologically vital land area lies in nearly pristine condition, evidently preserved and revered by the region's population. This fragile equilibrium between human economic needs, harvestable natural resources, and environmental protection has recently been disrupted, likely forever. Mine owners have sold their lands and mining rights to large-scale, foreign miningcompanies, while activists have turned the Páramo de Santurbán into the country's national environmental cause célèbre.
