Donde los niños no sueñan

Lourdes and her family live just a few metres from the enormous lead mine in the Peruvian city of Cerro de Pasco. For years the mine has heavily contaminated the environment, making the area one of the most polluted on the planet. The two children, in particular, suffer from serious diseases caused by heavy metal poisoning, which pose a severe threat to their life expectancy. Unfortunately, the need to take them away from a place that is killing them clashes with the social and economic impossibility of imagining a future elsewhere.
