Mine Your Own Business [NOVEMBER 2009]

The Dark Side of Environmentalism??? HUH???



Mine Your Own Business exposes the dark side of environmental initiatives by shining a light on the cozy image of environmentalists as well-meaning, harmless activists. Mine Your Own Business takes the question of what local people want for their future directly to those most affected by campaigns that actually keep people in poverty. This 2006 documentary is the first to ask hard questions of foreigners leading campaigns to "save" remote areas from development, and showcases answers that are often ignorant, and worse, disturbing. Please come check out this controversial film, and stay for what will no doubt be a lively discussion afterwards!
