C.M.C

This documentary explores the environmental pollution and health issues caused by the Cyprus Mines Corporation (C.M.C.) mining operations in the Lefke region of Cyprus. The heavy metals and toxic waste left behind by the mine contaminated the area's agriculture and water sources, leading to an increase in cancer cases and a major ecological disaster. Supported by testimonies from local residents and scientific research, the film highlights how Lefke's once fertile lands have been irreversibly damaged by C.M.C.'s activities.
