The Devil Operation

About This Movie

The Devil Operation is quite a gritty documentary that dives into the life of Father Marco Arana, who really puts himself on the line against the Yanacocha mine's destructive practices. The film paints a raw picture of environmental activism, showcasing not just Arana’s bravery but also the brutal tactics used to silence him and his supporters. It's got a somber tone, almost palpable tension as threats escalate around him. The pacing feels deliberate—sometimes slow, but it allows the gravity of the situation to sink in. What stands out is the atmosphere of fear paired with hope; you can feel the weight of the struggle. Makes for a thought-provoking watch for anyone interested in the intersection of environmentalism and human rights.
