MYOB in Ecuador

Last spring, MPI completed a Spanish-language version of Mine Your Own Business and entered into negotiations to bring the film to audiences in Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, and Chile. Now the fruits of that labor are showing--and so is Ocupate de lo Tuyo. Starting next week, Ecuador's Televisión Catolica de Los Encuentros will broadcast the film on three dates: Monday, July 30, at 7:30 PM; Saturday, August 11, at 12:30 PM; and Friday, August 17, at 7 PM. The film is of special interest to Latin American audiences, featuring as it does a revealing and resonant segment about how global environmentalists are working to prevent a gold mine from opening in the Andes--despite the fact that the mine will be conducted in a sustainable manner, that it will create thousands of jobs and bring much-needed income to the area, and that the people affected are overwhelmingly in favor of the mine. Las mentiras tienen las patas cortas.
