La garde blancheLa Guarda Blanca

Québec cinema
presented by Hydro-Québec
Five years after Dark Suns, Julien Elie is back with a rigorous piece of research – an outstanding cinematographic work. This time, he sheds light on the regime of terror and violence generated by transnational mining companies, in collaboration with the Mexican government and organised crime, enabling them to land-grab territories to exploit their resources. With great respect and attention to detail, La garde blanche exposes the courage and dignity of the resistance against this new manifestation of destructive and murderous colonialism filled with rampant impunity.
