A mother’s quest to uncover why her neighbours kept dying

Available for over a year

Sofía Gatica was crushed when she lost her baby to a mysterious illness – but she started to notice that she was not alone. Sofía went door to door in her neighbourhood of Ituzaingó Annex on the outskirts of Córdoba, Argentina, mapping out who was sick, and from what. She noticed a pattern and asked, was there a connection to the soybean fields next door? As Clayton Conn reports, Sofía formed a group called The Mothers of Ituzaingó who began a dangerous quest for answers, and took on the agro-chemical giant Monsanto. Clips were from Radio Bemba / Because Music, La Voz and The Goldman Environmental Prize Sofía's words were voiced by Sara Doñate Lopata.
