When Clouds Clear (2008) - Mikey B


Created on June 24th, 2008 by Mikey B

The documentary details the plight of a small, isolated farming community in the mountain village of Junin when ore deposits are discovered underneath their land. Two mining companies attempt to take control of the area creating rifts between friends and families as one group fights against change and for their land, while the other wants the prosperity the mining companies are promising. As with many documentaries, When Clouds Clear ends up being better and worse because of how it’s put together. I found the award-winning film to be an above average documentary.

Rating: ★★★★★★½☆☆☆
