Ernesto Cabellos Damián : 2015
Daughter of the Lake
Nélida is a young rural woman in the Andes who speaks with nature. She feels that she is the daughter of the lakes that the town depends on for life. But right below the waters, Yanacocha, the biggest mining corporation in Latin America, has discovered a gold deposit worth billions of dollars. The company comes with the support of the Peruvian government, in spite of the knowledge that the project implies the destruction of various lakes. The majority of the farmers in the area oppose this project because they fear they will lose their water. It is a fight for life or death. Ernesto Cabellos Damián's feature documentary premiered in competition at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival 2015, and had its European premiere at Semana Internacional de Cine de Valladolid 2015.
