Isabel Guerra
Peruvian actress and singer Magaly Solier defended today in Cannes “Altiplano,” a movie that denounces the abuses that some mining companies do in Peru against the population.
The movie, by Peter Brosens (Belgium) and Jessica Woodworth (US) is based on a real mercury spill that occurred in Choropampa in 2000, which produced many collateral damages among the population.
"There is always going to be problems, since the owners of the mines are rich people who are making a lot of money and I suppose that's why the government treats them with silk's gloves. Authorities do not defend to the population, they defend the owners of the mining businesses instead," assured Solier in a interview with a news agency.
“The movie is going to generate a lot of polemic, but we are to defend it," she added.
According to Solier, topics like these are not openly discussed in Peru because "Peru is afraid to talk about the reality.”
