Marinduque: Placer Dome & Marcopper: Out of sight, out of mined




Out of sight, out of mined from Oxfam Australia on Vimeo.




Some years ago, I was invited by MACEC (Marinduque Council for Environmental Concerns), to watch this documentary on the problems caused by the Marcopper mine tailings spill that happened 15 years ago today. The film was first screened in Australia to mark the start of the APEC Mining Ministerial in Perth in 2007. Produced by Oxfam Australia, the documentary entitled "Out of Sight, Out of Mined", and apparently referred to how the mining company suddenly packed up and abandoned the mines, their responsibilities to the people of Marinduque and rehabilitation issues resulting from the disaster.
