All We Have Is Us

"A transcontinental alliance defending land, water, and democracy."

Filmed over five years across the salt flats of Chile’s Atacama Desert and the fertile valleys of Serbia’s Jadar, ALL WE HAVE IS US chronicles the interconnected resistance against multinational mining giant Rio Tinto.

Co-directors Aline Juárez and Juan Donoso follow Aymara journalist and land defender Leyla Noriega, actor Bojana Novaković, socio-environmental researcher and photgrapher Ramón Balcázar, and rural beekeeper Vladan Jakovljević. Refusing the tropes of passive victimhood, the film captures an intimate, choral portrait of agency and dignity—where community radio, ancestral memory, street protests, and cross-continental solidarity expose the hidden ecological and democratic costs powering Europe’s green energy transition and militarization.
