Synopsis:
La Gloria, a small town in the state of Veracruz, recently became the center of global media attention. It was here that a five-year-old child became the first casualty of the global swine flu pandemic. Whilst the media and political focus however attested to the local conditions of impoverishment, away from the media glare another battle has been taking place as inhabitants of the Valley of Perote have waged a campaign against Granjas Carroll de Mexico - a company partly owned by Smithfield Foods, accusing them of contaminating the local environment. Indeed, in spite of judicial proceedings, they still maintain their struggle against what they see to be the environmental injustices of the “laissez-faire” system.
