3.5/5

Inspiring, unexpectedly joyful portrait of the shy, funny, humble woman battling environmental disaster, corporate malfeasance, and civic corruption. A harbinger of the resource wars that are coming.

Diane Sparrow's MAXIMA (2019) could end there, another blotch on Mother Earth, but, the documentary soon focuses on one remarkable woman, Máxima Acuña, and her family's determination to keep their way-of-life.

4/5

In the film, we come to intimately understand Máxima and her family's struggles. Sparrow and team not only introduce us to this warrior woman, but also ask us to think about society's demand for precious metals affects others directly.

Overall, Maxima is a really educational and informational look into the truth behind big mining as experienced through one strong-willed indigenous woman.

Sparrow ... has chosen her subject wisely, in cinematic terms.

This film paints another heartbreaking picture of big business vs mankind. The surprise is this corporation didn't know they were up against a Goliath of another kind. Maxima is might be the smallest, quietest, most peaceful woman in the entire country, but inside she is a fierce, lion of a woman and the greatest enemy of big business: she doesn't care about money, fame, and she isn't afraid of anything. She is simply driven by a strong moral code and a desire to carry on her culture. In contrast, it is truly amazing how blatantly corrupt these companies operate and this film shines an important spotlight that no one will be able to turn away from. This doc is beautifully shot and I highly recommend it if you're interested in human rights stories, or any human stories at all. A+
