Mine Your Own Business

From the Guardian:

It is a story of third world degradation, mining corporations, environmentalists, power and lies, and it comes with a twist.
The feature-length documentary follows the Michael Moore template of championing the underdog, in this case impoverished communities in Romania, Madagascar and Chile, but instead of attacking the mines it goes for the ecologists.

Mine Your Own Business, whose British premiere is this week, casts the green movement as the influential villain of a worldwide campaign to block development and deny people the chance of jobs and a decent life.

Accompanied by an unemployed 23-year-old Romanian miner, Gheorge Lucian, he visited a proposed mining site in Madagascar and meets the American representative of the World Wildlife Fund. In a Michael Moore-type ambush, the unwitting villain shows off his catamaran and plans for a seaside home before explaining that impoverished locals do not need development to be happy.
