The screening will be followed by a discussion with Andresa Aparecida Rocha Rodrigues, a leader fighting for justice after the collapse of a tailings dam killed 272 people in her community, and Denise Bebbington, Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Natural Resource Extraction and Society at Clark University.
