El Salvador: Gold or Water?

Concerned about their water supply, the community in El Salvador protested a gold mine operated by Canadian company Pacific Rim, and the government responded. Now El Salvador is being sued in an international tribunal for millions of dollars  over their refusal to issue a permit.

This excellent 15 minute documentary explains the community's concerns.
