Details Title: El Agua Vale Más que el Litio (Water is Worth More Than Lithium) , 2021, 42 min) Director: Ramón Balcázar Morales Year: 2021 Country: Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia Length: 42 min Language: Spanish Subtitles: English  ☀  Synopsis El Agua Vale Más que el Litio (Water is Worth More than Lithium) is a collective project created by members of the Plurinational Observatory of the Andean Salt Flats OPSAL seeking to show visions and personal perspectives of nature defenders and different social actors of the Andean Salt Flats, unique and precious ecosystems threatened by the expansion of extractivist lithium mining throughout the cross-border region known as the Puna de Atacama. This work brings together voices of OPSAL members in Chile, Argentina and Bolivia, as well as other testimonies of life in the salt flats. The phrase 'Water is Worth More than Lithium' refers to one of the slogans used by the 33 Atacama and Colla Indigenous communities of Salinas Grandes and Laguna Guayatayoc (Jujuy) during the various demonstrations they organized to oppose to exploration works on ancestral land, keeping their territory-home free of mining until now. In the face of the greenwashing of lithium extraction under slogans such as 'responsible mining' and the promotion of false solutions like the massive production and consumption of electric cars for individual use in rich countries, it is more urgent than ever to know the hidden face of green capitalism and, more importantly still, connect and strengthen resistances to build anti-colonial alternatives from the South and beyond extractivism. ☀  This film is part of YardVibes, a streaming platform for content from independent African and Caribbean makers.
