DAMOCRACY: A documentary that debunks the myth of large-scale dams as clean energy


Published on Apr 19, 2013
DAMOCRACY: A documentary that debunks the myth of large-scale dams as clean energy and a solution to climate change. It records the priceless cultural and natural heritage the world would lose in the Amazon and Mesopotamia if two planned large-scale dams are built, Belo Monte dam in Brazil, and Ilisu dam in Turkey. DAMOCRACY is a story of resistance by the thousands of people who will be displaced, and a call to world to support their struggle. More info at https://www.facebook.com/DamocracyMovement

    I’ve already seen the movie some time ago and it is really fantastic.
    I visited Hasankeyf many times and also learnt what it means for the people – despite all the other negative effects the building of large dams courses.
