Description
This short documentary produced by The Green Interview focuses on what's referred to as the "Mendoza case," a landmark ruling that took place in Argentina in 2008 and is named after Beatriz Mendoza, a health care worker living in a poor and heavily polluted area of Buenos Aires. In 2004 she lead a group of Matanza River basin residents and filed a lawsuit against the national government, the Province of Buenos Aires, the City of Buenos Aires and 44 companies-seeking compensation for damages resulting from pollution to the river basin, stoppage of contaminating activities, and a remedy for collective environmental damage. Argentina's Supreme Court ruled that government and industry had indeed infringed the residents' right to a healthy environment and were obliged to repair the damage. Efforts to do so are ongoing. In addition, this video also takes the viewer to Ecuador, Canada, America, and the Philippines to peek at other current green rights leaders and conflicts.
