Language: Spanish
As a director and his crew shoot a controversial film about Christopher Columbus in Cochabamba, Bolivia, local people rise up against plans to privatize the water supply.
It is made in a documentary style and the story is shown in a slightly metaphorical way to show history repeating itself. Good to see Gael Garcia Bernal that has no ego and takes a slightly lesser role in the film. One problem with the film is that it slightly lacks warmth. It is shot in exquisite locales in the Bolivian Andes.
Rating: 3.5/5
