MINA
“La palabra de Diòs dice que el que estè en sus manos nadie, absolutamente nadie, lo puede arrebatàr.” San Juan
Life flows in Mina el Limon, a Nicaraguan town built over a gold mine, where the percentage of kidney chronic disease exceeds 30%. Mina is an experimental no-narrative documentary about Mesoamerican Nefropathy in Nicaragua. It tells the atmosphere of life in a place built over an old gold mine from which it derives life and receives death. A symbiotic relationship between the population and the place, the exploitation of the environment, in which human intervention creates resources damaging the inhabitants at the same times. Here chronic renal failure, the analysed medical topic in this work, reaches very high levels without being able to understand what the real preponderant cause is. Directed by Martino Chiti and produced by ASL Toscana with the contribute of Centro Salute Globale Toscana.
