Oro is about ommunity
of miners that will be infiltrated by an armed group masquerading as
environmentalists. The story will center on the efforts of their
barangay captain (Irma Adlawan) to secure a permit allowing them to keep
their livelihood in mining. In the meantime, the lives of Elmer and
Linda who are planning to get married (Joem Bascon and Mercedes Cabral)
and their fellow miners (Sandino Martin, Sue Prado, Biboy Ramirez) will
be put in danger as the armed group (Arrian Labios, Cedrick Juan) takes
over the mining operations and establishes a reign of terror in this
remote island that the miners have long considered their home.
Which has
more weight: human rights or environmental rights? The film tries to
capture a topsy-turvy reality much more complex than stereotypes
characterizing mining as evil and advocacies for environmental
protectionism as the font of goodness.
