Toxic Waste in Papago Territory

When the Other Campaign delegation visited Northern Mexico, it met with various indigenous communities in Sonora state. Filmed in a Papago indigenous community located in Quitovac, near the border with Arizona, "Toxic Waste in Papago Territory," produced by Chiapas Media Project, tells the story of one community's battle against the construction of a toxic waste dump for both the U.S. and Mexico. Elders speak about the extinction of certain trees, birds, how toxins will becom airborne and the health consequences for all.
