THIS STOLEN COUNTRY OF MINE is about China’s massive hunger for natural resources and how it aggressively operates to obtain access to these resources in Ecuador. Indigenous leader Paúl Jarrín Mosquera and investigative journalist Fernando Villavicencio lead the battle against China’s ‘unofficial’ occupation of their country and the corrupt government.
