Despus de la Neblina / When Clouds Clear (77 min, Ecuador, USA)
A gripping story of human survival and sacrifice. Junn, a remote Ecuadorian town of 270 people, has managed to preserve their cloud forest and water sources against the intrusion of international mining companies. The people fight to keep their community free of contamination and are often forced to take an extreme approach in their resistance. The economic pressures of foreign companies have caused much confusion, greed, and division within families and between communities. Junn has banished those who support mining. The narrator is a 14-year-old boy who has continued his education in order keep mining out. His outlook is optimistic and he believes the fractured relationships between families will one day be repaired. (Anne Slick and Danielle Bernstein, 2007)
