Under Rich Earth

 $24.99
|
| Under Rich Earth is a surprising and poignant tale of hope and determination. In a remote mountain valley in Ecuador, farmers face eviction from their land to make way for a massive mining project. As the company’s men move deeper into the valley, the tension between the miners and the opposition reaches a breaking point. Abandoned by the police and ignored by their government, the farmers prepare to stand down the ‘invaders’ on their own. Their resistance leads to a remarkable and historic confrontation with a band of mysterious armed men hiding in the cloud forest. |
