Marco's allies are murdered and tortured, but he and his disciples refuse to be victims. They turn their cameras on the spies and develop a counter-espionage plan that leads to South America's largest gold mine, owned by the Newmont Mining Corporation of Colorado.

For the past two decades, Father Marco has defended farming communities against the Yanacocha mine's abuses, earning him the nickname 'The Devil'. Peru is one of the world's top gold producers and the state has ceded power to transnational corporations who guard their territory like outlaws in the Wild West.

Film-maker Stephanie Boyd has spent 10 years documenting the farmer's struggle and became caught up in this real-life political thriller.
