How to Stop a Multinational
Activists - Gabriela Romano, Jenny Lujan and Marcela Crabble

Argentineans are used to hitting the streets to start revolutions, fight for their rights or overthrow governments. But now they are demanding that their valuable water sources up in the Andean Mountains be protected from the multinational mining companies they say are endangering their communities. Gabriela Romano, Jenny Lujan and Marcela Crabble have already taken on and defeated a Canadian mining company and now they are turning their attention to a Chinese one. Their preferred method of activism - putting people on the streets to physically stop the heavy machinery from entering towns, training villagers and filming every protest.
