The Lithium story is not just confined to Imperial Valley. For the last year, book co-authors, Chris Benner and Manuel Pastor, have been collaborating with Argentine filmmaker and documentarian Emiliano Rodriguez Nuesch to create a dialogue between the experience of Lithium Valley in California and the so-called “Lithium Triangle” in Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia. Their conclusion: the future of these regions may be uncertain but the communities there that have too often been left behind and kept behind are linked in their concerns for people and the planet.
