Beneath the Surface: Practical Films to Help Communities Fight Mining

This comes from the Yes to Life, No to Mining website. These three ten-minute videos look at cases of different communities who have faced the incursion of mining into their communities and the destruction it has left, with specific practical advice those communities want to pass on to others facing the same situation. YTLNTM also has lots more in their excellent toolkits for fighting mining, organized into three areas: Advocacy, Knowing the Law, and Supporting Evidence

“It is very important that communities collect baseline data before the companies come into the communities. It gives the communities an edge over the companies. It gives the community some kind of protection.” (From ‘Baseline data and environmental monitoring‘)

This video series was produced by the New Media Advocacy Project
