Hija de la laguna (La Fille de la lagune) est un film documentaire péruvien du réalisateur Ernesto Cabellos Damián sorti en 2015. Il est consacré à la lutte pour l'eau de Nélida Ayay Chilón et des communautés paysannes contre l'industrie minière en Amérique du Sud.

Synopsis

Nélida est une jeune fille de la campagne de Cajamarca qui communique avec la Nature. Elle se sent comme la fille des lagunes dont dépend la vie de sa communauté. Mais juste en dessous de la lagune de Conga, Yanacocha , la corporation minière la plus importante d'Amérique latine, a découvert un filon d'or dont la valeur s'estime en milliards de dollars. L'entreprise compte avec l'appui du gouvernement du Pérou, malgré le fait que ce projet détruira les lagunes.

The goal of the film is to bridge the gap between food growers and food consumers by presenting farmers' and ranchers' perspectives on producing food. The film aims to do this by focusing on the lives of six farmers in their 20s who describe their experiences of and views on modern farming and ranching in the United States.

Using interviews and overlays of graphics and text, the film presents the current problems facing industrial agriculture. It explores why in the interviewees' view the current industrial model is not up to the task of feeding the world's people. According to the film every calorie of energy contained in a food source currently takes between 10 and 20 calories of crude oil in the production of fertilizers and transportation to produce, leading to a strong dependence of the cost of food on oil prices. As a result of peak oil and increasing oil prices this dependence will lead to ever increasing food prices. According to the film, this dependence already represents a significant weak-spot in the global food supply chain. Additionally, agriculture is already responsible for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. Furthermore, the film argues that the overuse of inorganic fertilizers has been responsible for the loss of soil fertility and threatens the complete loss of usable soil within the next decades through soil erosion and sinking crop yields. These effects, according to the film, can only be partly mitigated by the increased use of those same fertilizers. The loss of workplaces, the concentration of land in the hands of a few (allegedly a farm closes every 23 minutes in France) as well as the dependence on large corporations are enumerated as side effects of the industrialisation of agriculture since the 1920s. Companies, such as Monsanto and Bayer, control everything from seed stock to fertilizers and the necessary chemical mixes for hybrid plants, thereby controlling the entire supply chain. The film argues that this development was supported through subsidies from the World Bank. Interviews with Vandana Shiva, the founder of the Transition Towns movement Rob Hopkins and various agricultural experts serve to argue this viewpoint. The dependence on crude oil is illustrated through the example of the wholesale food market in Rungis.
