A campesino land occupier risks his life to harvest palm fruit on disputed land next to Dinant Corporations' production plant. For over a decade, peasant activists and land occupiers in the Aguan Valley have been terrorized, threatened, and murdered at an alarming rate. Most of the killings have been attributed to the Dinant Corporation (African Palm) and Pinares iron mine.
