Titicaca

SYNOPSIS

A journey through the high plateau of Bolivia and Peru, drastically affected by both formal and informal mining. This is causing the pollution of rivers and harming the people who live along their banks, ultimately leading to the slow death of Lake Titicaca. Furthermore, there are dramatic consequences: social conflicts, human trafficking, and the use of forced labor in the mines. Comparatively, one can observe the social conflicts in the mines of Germany.
