Secrets from the Mountaintop
This story is about an indigenous girl from Peru in the late 19th century. Her family, a group of Coca farmers, have fallen victim to the up-and-coming production of Coca in the United States, which the Coca-Cola Company uses to manufacture cocaine into their drinks. On a strike of luck, an ambassador from the Coca-Cola company gives her the opportunity to travel to the states. While she is told that the company wants her there to be a part of growing agricultural technology, she is really there to make good PR with the public, to deceive everyone into thinking that the Coca-Cola corporation is not taking advantage of the Coca farmers. In a story that questions the importance of tradition and family, she must overcome the powers of big corporations and tell the people the truth of how they are treating South American farmers.
