i'm father marco antonio i don't know as i got out. seeing i was born and come home marco a little and you thought over a one thousand nine hundred two number your birth to 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 mentals you know i couldn't go to london to go to. you a little bit the racial scene. when i was first again as a priest on literacy and i had the privilege of living in park on. one of peru's

poorest communities over the top of your city. if you didn't have a. computer. 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 gone and gold this money.

we. really believe you know discovered circulation some number of years ago. it's true it's a good deposit we've always been a low 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 you 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.

think that if i was putting money. 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.

and number of the farmers trade unions and university students asked me to mediate interviews where you'll be able with the government finally had to accept me as a mediator in the company always refused to let me mediate with the media. 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. when you get in 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 it's like 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 a burke i'll help you dig the hole and give them us 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

i. 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 of the people in meeting is that. i came to get a fax from the minister and saw the police beating people and throwing tear gas and

. noise give us a i'm going to address the crowd and tell them to remain calm. because you're going to thanks general please restrain your officers now you know i'm going outside to see what i can do to get with him most of them yeah thanks general good bye they're going to stop outside now i'm going outside north of there. 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 too don't slow any more stones listen to me they provoked us if you're not going to listen to me then 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 value that he's going to order them to stop but you need to stop throwing stones you know who threw those stones at the police station . i mean. if i look at it as a. father what's happening in my it's evil 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. the low road those who don't understand this a looking for trouble scandal fairly that's bjoerling. units my beg of you i ask you in god's name you strive for peace. defend our

rights scene if we're not all the nicest and united yanacocha is going to eat us one by one be patient you're not going to win this struggle in a day in the end 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 trial. and they kidnapped the nka and hold him for ransom. followers still 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 throughout. 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 did it when i. ask of the governor is that they leave us in peace. that they don't touch the water we need for our crops and animals. but at the government 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 american declares a general strike against the mine. as we started developing the american company newmont is the majority shareholder and i began a 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 different was you know is this and these crazies are good you know because we have to admit we're 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 mt kill each in exchange for an end to the blockade. of the gentleman and all thorazine. on behalf of the population i move that we end the blockade of your local militia the more you. indeed there are multiple ivy let's view the ceremony to end the blockade not as an end to the struggle 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. but overall. i thought ok. now kili she is safe at least for the moment. father macko is revered as

a national hero. but not everyone is in nam or with the farmers. and with local media attacks marco and his activist organization graffiti days and the struggle of the bout began.

there 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 and 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 d.m. people's 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 mind. they called my sister and my niece answered we got on we saw that in that. they knew she was an adolescent and they said tell your uncle to stop interfering with mining issues that we know that because we're going to put two bullets in his head because as for that 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 just

gideon i said they wanted to hear my niece cry live from on this. level i don't understand their perverse logic to threaten my sister or my niece. i'm you're my no or me so. come up. with what we've got. father marco isn't the only one receiving threats. here to vasquez is a lawyer who helps marco and the farmers. get on line but now that that would have. died i was alone in a hotel room man and the phone ran in the middle of the night and in my case with relief and. when i saw it was a number from

a public telephone. is this music the last kiss and i said yes. a man spoke harshly and insulted me for it and so it's a deadly. siege she said if i kept making trouble they would rape be even. be allowed. to 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 call in. the bridge.

abutment he probably wanted to keep tellin me how i was going to die. on this also of most with that we realized there were following everyone from early in the morning our business in the us was in. the service of the doctor they followed us to our homes just. when our families told us they were taking photos of the homes of young went to the store for the

afghan. on the t.v. and workplaces you'll get off. this highway goes to the village of pub a young. person there present a porno there are you with a building a school eat a sparrow and other road goes to the ground on a cd. are chalerm you know you're in a courtroom. a. people are we saw in the on the devil went to the mine working because we couldn't find him on the road to public and there were no. dipper you owe me nothing until it went in the direction of the miner in our courts and i left in your corner for good but.

the moment but because if it was a difficult time you give a yes and you just suddenly felt you had to be careful with everyone you know but he even with this tree twenty years i think is it just as someone approached you with a cellphone or with a photo or a feed your camera and you know not them and you felt hostile towards them. or suspected that they were following you was a speech advocates of a sauna. love you know i left the office and i saw a motorcycle pass and turned around wondering. whose that says he. was

a he doubted us yet. guesses. and then it doesn't suddenly your heart begins to pound on us all so you say because he's one of them i better get out of here it will be fine it will be. bad to d.c.m. the other activists ecru feed it develop a counter espionage plan and begin to spy on the spy. goofy to its members took these photos and videos of their pursuers.
