Despite a deeply unbalanced game, Maxima, Bertha and Carolina share a common goal: They are leading today’s environmental fight against modern corporate conquistadors. Whereas governments and corporations are trapped in a global race to get the cheapest raw materials, these three women tell us a story of tireless courage: How to keep fighting to protect nature when your life is at risk? When police repression, corporate harassment, injuries or even death threats are part of your daily routine?
The film is not only a film about those who pay the high price of ‘development’, it is above all a film about the globalisation of their environmental resistance and their conviction to hunt down transnational corporations, wherever they hide.
