With her husband, Peter Brosens, Woodworth wrote and directed this feature film set in the Andes of Peru, where villagers mistakenly blame an outbreak of mercury poisoning on Western doctors who work in a nearby clinic. The story centers on the fiancé of a villager killed by the poisoning and the wife of a doctor killed in the villagers’ protest-turned-riot. The film was to be released in New York theaters in August and in Los Angeles Oct. 1.
