This video-documentary shows research findings on gender aspects of sustainable development in mining resource regions of Latin America. Women in mining from Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru were interviewed over a year to find out more about their perceptions, challenges and opportunities or women in a male-dominated industry. This visual ethnography was funded by Mineros S.A.
