Flin Flon Flim Flam, the work of American filmmaker John Dougherty, is being screened in southern Arizona ahead of an anticipated web release next month…“Hudbay Minerals has had its base of operations in Flin Flon for nearly 100 years,” Dougherty told The Reminder when asked about the film’s title. “The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word ‘flimflam’ as ‘foolish or deceptive words.’ The documentary compares the statements made by Hudbay CEO David Garofalo during a 2012 companywide presentation to what has actually occurred in Flin Flon, Guatemala, Peru and Hudbay’s proposed Rosemont Mine in southeastern Arizona.”..Flin Flon Flim Flam examines Hudbay’s pollution in the Flin Flon region, First Nations resistance to northern Manitoba projects and allegations of violence in Guatemala. It further explores opposition to both Constancia Mine in Peru and the proposed Rosemont Mine in Arizona…Throughout the film, following allegations levied against Hudbay, viewers see blurry footage of Hudbay CEO Garofalo saying, “In everything we do, we are responsible.” The footage was taken from an address Garofalo delivered in Flin Flon in 2012.
