The closed eyes of Latin America
The closed eyes is a tour of Latin America subject to looting and contamination by multinationals. From Mexico to Colombia and from Guatemala to Uruguay and Argentina, the documentary begins by quoting Eduardo Galeano: “…the conquistadors appear in their caravels and, nearby, the technocrats in their jets, Hernán Cortés and the marines, the corregidors of the kingdom and the missions of the international monetary fund, the dividends of the slave traders and the profits of General Motors.¨ Made by Miguel Mirra with the collaboration of filmmakers from across the continent, THE CLOSED EYES OF LATIN AMERICA addresses the issue of open pit mining, soy, monocultures and the depredation of soils and forests, dams, devastation fish farming and the production of cellulose pulp, highlighting the close relationship between the plundering of natural resources, environmental pollution and the exploitation model that multinationals apply in Latin America.
