Wings of Dust

Vidal is a 40-year-old journalist from southeastern Peru. He once worked in a mine and now tries to inform the local community and the rest of the world about what aggressive mining is doing to the local landscape. He is risking his life in the process and it is only a matter of time before politicians and multinational corporations run out of patience. To protect their own families or to protect nature? This is the dilemma Vidal is inevitably faced with.

This urgent documentary from the background of indigenous Peruvians highlights environmental and social injustice. Through the fate of one place, he gives a taste of the drastic transformation of a once picturesque landscape and the power of human determination.
