On the Swedish island of Gotland, the prospect of expanding industry at the expense of the environment raises tensions. This short film explores the dichotomy between promoting the economy or the environment.

“Jobs vs. the environment. Jobs vs. the water”. These questions abound on the rugged island of Gotland. Home to pristine and unspoiled landscapes, its natural limestone deposits have attracted the attention of the mining industry. Although a means of employment, mining would threaten a delicate ecosystem and even the island’s groundwater.
