Arica
by Lars Edman and William Johansson
(Documentary, Sweden/Norway/Belgium/Chile/United Kingdom, 2020, 97, C, Fr ST)
In 1980’s, a Swedish mining company exported 20,000 tons of toxic waste to the Chilean desert town of Arica. Thousands of people became sick, many died from cancer. Arica plunges us into the groundbreaking corporate accountability trial exposing how decisions made decades ago in Europe continue to affect people in South America.
« When we began filming fifteen years ago we never expected that what we were doing would spark off a historic trial in Sweden. The gold from the mines has made us rich and you could say that it paid for my and Lars’ education in Skellefteå. I really felt bad when I understood that the toxic waste from the process had done harm to people in a poor neighborhood far from home. » William Johansson
