i'm father marco antonio i don't know as i got on. the scene i was born in krakow marco a little and you thought tobe a one thousand nine hundred two know your birth date me that i lived most of my life in the universities and i was taught to learn from cement schoolrooms about our brother the nature you know up in there with a lot of his who mental so you know i couldn't do that on at least for. you a little but the racial scene. when i was first again as

a priest on literacy and i had the privilege of living in park on the input one of peru's poorest communities pulled it out of your city. you. if you're living. in university they don't teach you that the earth has eyes but the farmers know the earth has eyes you know and through its eyes the earth sees and cries if you take care of it it's happy and if you destroy it your earth cries we set out to convert the poor of us with them and we ended up being converted the farmers have worshiped the mountains for centuries the mountains provide water and water is life. but newcomers have arrived from a different world for them mountains are gold and gold is mining.

we. we've you know discovered circulation some number of years ago. it's true it's a good deposit we for has been a world class before and want to give the maximum upside to our investors in a rising gold market every ten dollar movement in the in the price of gold. increases to go on. increases our cash flow by about fifty million dollars increases our earnings by about thirty million dollars. the miners have already destroyed several mountains their next project is mt keeley's but the farmers to stop them.

if anything i think that's what. the farmers block the only road to the mine to keep the company from exploring mt keenly. yannick south america's largest gold mine is paralyzed.

you know but the farmers trade unions and university students asked me to mediate interviews where you'll be able to get the government finally had to accept me as a mediator but the company always refused to let me mediate with them again. if you provoke them. if you act like a hot shot yelling silly things. then instead of reaching the solution there will be a bloodbath. and you got some of them will die but more poor people will die and they'll remember their dead forever but who will remember the poor so i'm asking you it's better to fight than to be contaminated no no no no no no no please forget that slogan friend if they do i agree with you but it seems like you're saying kill

me. we want to live or if anyone here wants to die there's a cemetery out back help you dig the hole and give the mass we want to live right this is a struggle for life. yes to live no to gold. for the first time people living in the nearby city of america join the farmers to defend mount killings was freedom for those under arrest was. here they are these are the ones who will always fight. the. now we have no more fear was was was

was. was. in general i just came out of a meeting with the city's councillors. you i saw the protest in the main square and the police harassment going up and i didn't participate in the protest part of the people in meeting is that. i came to get a fax from the minister and saw all the police beating people and throwing tear gas

and. noise give us the i'm going to address the crowd and tell them to remain calm. because you're going to thanks general please restrain your offices now you know i'm going inside to see what i can do to get with him most of them yeah thanks general good bye they're going to step outside now i'm going outside. there will be . they threw me in i already spoke to the minister. the weights listen to me listen to me i know i saw the police on from here like it was you know the general is giving the order to stop but you need to stop to don't slow any more stones listen to me they provoked us if you're not going to listen to me the negotiate yourselves with. the way listen to me you know kind of they started this with you i saw you don't need to explain i

just told the minister to stop the police you know because there is some of the people down the alley that he's going to order them to stop but you need to stop throwing stones at him you know who threw those stones at the police station eleanor i mean. i don't look at it as the. father what's happening in might even with good fight injustice with justice and not more injustice with these the violence is not force with more violence but with peace. e.c.s. or no rule those who don't understand this a looking for trouble scandal fairly that's bjoerling. unify beg of you i ask you in god's name strive for peace. defend our

rights you see in this we're not all the nice and united yanacocha is going to eat us one by one oh be patient you're not going to win this struggle in a day and you're fighting against the world's largest mining company. this same plaza was the setting for one of kamarck us most famous battles the conquest of south america began here five hundred years ago. a small band of spanish invaders request a meeting with the income ruler to while. the spaniards promised they'd come in peace but it's a trap. they kidnap the nka and hold him for ransom. followers fill one room with gold and two with silver for his release. but

the spaniards execute out a while back and claim his empire of the spanish through. today because once again the stage for a battle over gold. being a.

common ordinary people. just defending our water that it was or that i didn't. ask of the government is that they leave us in peace. but they don't touch the water we need for our crops and animals. but at the government is because this is our livelihood. i was five i think. the blockade is in its second week and every day more people join us john. callahan market declares a general strike against the mine. as we started developing the american company newmont is the majority shareholder the vienna coach of mine. with

a new mont is losing millions of dollars because of the blockade. and korea's government is under pressure to end the conflict. and. people with more going on that the government makes mistakes and the company has to admit its pot but we have to fight until they respect our rights. the social license is extremely important to us really and in some ways over the global legal license to operate you ask them to stop and remove their machines this is our conflict with the. you know in hindsight sure we do a lot of things different you know where we live in a i'm not sure how much to fight with you know is this and these crazies are good you know because we have to admit when not doing things as well as we thought we. were telling the government and yanacocha not to touch mt killer.

on the finally an agreement is reached the government will revoke piano coaches permission to explore mount kulish in exchange for an end to the blockade. of the gentleman and all thorazine s. . i'm behalf of the population i move that we end the blockade will be able to the militia the more you. oh ivy let's do the ceremony to end the blockade not as an end to the struggle for now but as a ceremony to thank god you are going to have both of you may he send us home safely especially the delegations from far away everything but we don't know. how the other day. about caylee she is safe at least for the moment.

father mad cow is revered as a national hero. but not everyone is enamored with the farmers. local media tax market and his activist organization graffiti day and his struggle of the bout began.

their marco has troubles at home his reputation outside peru is growing. he attends the mine shareholder meeting in colorado. and thousand basters and the american press about the conflicts at yanacocha. then he's invited to canada and speaks in front of ontario's parliament. what just like in canada hundreds of farmers in peru and latin america are sent to jail for defending their right to a healthy life. then dealing peoples' struggle to defend their land and

water continues. in two thousand and six yannick coaches shut down by another blockade america was called in to mediate but this time a farmer is killed by police. you're not on your money. they called my sister and my niece answered we got on we saw it in. they knew she was an adolescent and they said tell your uncle to stop interfering with mining issues you know that because we're going to put two bullets in his head. but they waited until my niece was confused and hung up the phone call that i'm going to get up to someone to look at yesterday and i said they

wanted to hear my niece cry live from. this. level i don't understand their perverse logic to threaten my sister or my niece. d.r. than us up with you or i me or my no or me so do you know. i come up with the one with the. father marco isn't the only one receiving threats. here to vasco is a lawyer who helps marco and the farmers. get on line but now that we know. that i i was alone in a hotel room man and the phone ran in the middle of the night and in my case i'm not really believe it when the i saw it was a number from

a public telephone income aka. is this news the last kiss and i said yes. a man spoke harshly and insulted me for it it's a it's a. she said if i kept making trouble they would rape me even. kill me and cut my body into pieces. and threw them in the garbage for the dogs to eat.

i hung up but he kept to call in. the union on the bridge. abutment he probably wanted to keep tellin me how i was going to die. moments also with that we realized they were following everyone from early in the morning so i was in a scheme of us of us alone and. some of the conductors they followed us to our homes just a lot of. families told us they were taking photos of the homes. under the

well woman till the feces but give it all it was a difficult time. give a yes and you just suddenly you felt you had to be careful with everyone you know but he and even with this tree twenty years i think if someone approached you with a cellphone. or with a photo or a feeder camera video not them and you felt hostile to what's them. or suspected that they were following you was a speech advocates upis on the style of a huge. yes again i love that i left the office and i saw

a motorcycle pass and turned around wondering who's that the heater. is if you have a tissue i. guess this is it and then it doesn't suddenly if your heart begins to pound to get us all so you say be calm one though. don't give up i better get out of here it will be fine. if you. had to d.c. and the other activists ecru feed it develop a counter espionage plan and begin to spy on the spy. who feed as members took these photos and videos of their pursuers.
