on the twentieth of october one thousand nine hundred two i know your birth date me that i lived most of my life in the universities and i was taught to learn from some in school rooms around the nature you know up in there that i would notice him into you know walked into that and to goodness. you know little but the racial scene. when i was first again as a priest on literacy and the privilege of living in pork on. one of peru's poorest communities all of that a little you say. you're living. in the 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. we we you know discovered circulation number of years ago. it's the it's a good deposit we four he's been in the workforce before and want to give the maximum upside to our investors in a rising gold market every ten dollar movement 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 mount keeley but the farmers to stop them.

if. that's what. the farmers flock 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 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 the mediator but the company always refused to let me mediate with the media. if you provoke them. if you act like a hot shot the yelling silly things. and then instead of reaching the solution

there will be a bloodbath. and you get 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 no please forget that slogan friend is that i agree with you but it seems like you're saying kill me. more. we want to live or if anyone here wants to die there's a cemetery a back i'll 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 what i. hear 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 it 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 on . lloyd 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 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. there are. they threw me in i already spoke to the minister. the weights listen to me

spanish invaders request a meeting with the income ruler to while. the spaniards promised they'd come in peace but it's a trial. 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 throughout. today america is once again the stage for a battle over gold. let

. me give an innocent where common ordinary people almost disown them we're just defending our water that it was or that we did not want to. eat all we ask of the government another is that they leave us in peace. so let me taste that they don't touch the water we need for our crops and animals little deals but at the government because this is our livelihood.

newmont is losing millions of dollars because of the blockade. and korea's government is under pressure to end the conflict. have already gone with them more than on 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 over the legal license to operate you ask them to stop and remove their machines this is our conflict with the. you know in hindsight to we do a lot of things different you know where we live in a i'm not sure how much different with your job it is that 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 kill ish.
