Laguna Negra: a film about the Majaz case in Peru


CATAPA has long been working on the Majaz case in Peru. Recently a new documentary about the case was made by the London-based filmmaker Michael Watts, and is available online:

Laguna Negra is a film that explores the core values of a campesino community in Huancabamba (Peru), the way the fabric of this society has been threatened by large scale mining and the destructive outcome of imposing a capital intensive model of development on a society based on traditional values.
