What happens when you stand up to a giant.

In the early 2000s, several farmers in the department of Cabañas, El Salvador, became concerned that the area’s water wells were drying up, and their livestock were dying under strange circumstances. A community radio station and other organizations started looking for answers, and what they found was much bigger than they imagined.

This episode was co-produced with De eso no se habla. Thanks to its team: Paula Morais, Laura Casielles and Vanessa Rousselot.
