Copper Stain

Beschreibung

Presents a history of environmental injustice, corporate malfeasance, political treachery, and a community fighting for its life. These frank and often heartrending stories evoke the grim reality of labouring under giant machines and lava-spewing furnaces while turning mountains of rock into copper ingots.
