    • Synopsis
    • Clemente Flores lives in the community "El Moreno", in Salinas Grandes, Jujuy, where more than 30 indigenous communities struggle to prevent the imminent arrival of multinational mining companies to extract lithium, the new white gold. In search of answers to his silent claim to be included in the decision-making process, Clemente embarks on a revealing journey, to return and organize, together with the other salt communities, a resistance action in defense of their territory . "In the name of lithium" is a documentary about the urgency of reaching an equilibrium with the Pachamama.
