Cyanide Beach now available for free public distribution

September 15, 2013 By santaritas Leave a Comment

Watch Cyanide Beach, an explosive new documentary from award-winning investigative journalist John Dougherty, that exposes the Canadian mining speculators who are behind a proposal to open the massive Rosemont Copper mine just outside Tucson, Arizona.

The revealing 24-minute film chronicles the deceptive business tactics of top executives at Augusta Resource Corporation – owner of Rosemont Copper – when they owned and operated an open-pit gold mine in Sardinia Italy from 2003-07. You’ll see how they left behind a trail of unpaid vendors, a misspent government loan, hidden investors, and a toxic mess known to locals as “Cyanide Beach.”

Watch the film below and visit Dougherty’s Investigative Media website to learn more.
