Activism Is Stupid?
Activism Is Stupid?
Peru
Father Marco Arana is being followed. A private security firm is filming and photographing the priest’s every move. This humble priest has spent 2 decades defending Peruvian mountain farmers from a US-owned gold mine, earning him the nickname ‘The Devil.’ When one colleague is threatened with rape and another is killed, the activists develop a counter-espionage plan and catch the spies in their own web. This real-life political thriller exposes the new wave of corporate terrorism faced by Latin America’s human rights defenders.
