WATER FOR GOLD

What is money worth?

We live in a world where the safeguarding of profit can actually take precedence over the protection of human rights. In the interest of preserving their all-important bottom line corporations are able to sue Governments for the passing of certain laws�laws that are in fact intended to protect the people and environment.

WATER FOR GOLD looks at the case of the massive mining giant Oceana Gold and the huge 10 year legal battle they have been embroiled in with the El Salvador Government over mining rights; rights that directly affect El Salvador's last remaining clean safe drinking water source. Through ISDS (Investor State Dispute Settlement) corporations like Oceana Gold are given the power to embark in these conflicts, therefore affecting the Democratic Law making process.

ISDS is an important part of trade law that needs to be recognized in the public eye. In WATER FOR GOLD we explore and educate our audience about these jargon heavy concepts by making it engaging and easy to understand through the use of Stop Motion animation

The wonderful team at loading docs are matching dollar for dollar once we reach our goal of $2000 through our Boosted fundraising campaign!
