Talk:Mine Your Own Business

Mild controversy
I don't believe this minor controversy should be on the main page. I think we can all agree that this is not encyclopedic content:


 * Criticisms of the film included the claim by environmentalist groups that the film was partly funded by Gabriel Resources, the Canadian mining company behind the proposed project, a fact which the filmmakers readily admit. The filmmakers vehemently reject, however, the implication that this funding affected the content of the film. McAleer even goes so far as to say that (contrary to convention) the funders had "absolutely no control" over the film, and never even saw any part of the film before it was complete, allowing him to create, "in many respects," the "most independent documentary [he had] ever made." The president of Gabriel Resources, Alan Hill, said at the first screening of the movie, "Before, the environmentalists would lob mortars at us and we would keep our heads down. Now, there is a big push back."


 * I don't regard it as a minor criticism at all. A film defending an industry being funded by that industry is a clear conflict of interest, and a key point, regardless of the direct editorial control a funder has. It has expectations to be met. Why not include it, along with the filmmaker's response? Mpidge (talk) 15:16, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Update needs inclusion
Rosia Montana in Rumania was rejected by the Romanian Chamber od Deputies in June 2014. On December 30, 2015 the ministry of Culture declared the site to be of historic national importance and forbid any development. It looks like there will never be a mine there.
