La Mina

La Mina is the story of a community’s pursuit of justice told within the context of a mine’s 70-year history in Guatemala. This historical window, from the 1950s until now, is examined through an unfolding legal case brought by 13 Maya people  to Canada, where they have charged the mine’s owners with mass rape, shooting and murder. Through generations and across continents, La Mina is the story of a global and systemic crisis of corruption.

Featuring Angelica Choc and the women of Lote 8, German Chub, Grahame Russell, Murray Klippenstein and Cory Wanless.

Produced by HitPlay Productions with financial support from The Perspective Fund, The StoryBoard Collective, and with the participation of the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and the Ontario Media Development Corporation Film and Television Tax Credit.
