Under Rich Earth<\/p>\n
\u201cA riveting story of community conflict\u2026\u201d
\n\u2013 Critic\u2019s Pick, NOW Magazine, Toronto<\/p>\n
In a remote mountain valley in Ecuador, coffee and sugarcane farmers face the prospect of being forced off their land to make way for a mining project. Unprotected by the police and ignored by their government, they prepare to face down the \u201cinvaders\u201d on their own. Their resistance ultimately leads to a remarkable stand off between farmers and a group of armed paramilitaries deep in the cloud forest. Under Rich Earth is a surprising and poignant tale of hope and determination.<\/p>\n
