Spain/Mexico Gael Bernal, Louis Tosar
Intricate interweaving of two stories: a movie company come to Bolivia to film an historical epic about the outrageous exploitation by Columbus of the native population of Santo Domingo and the fight by present-day natives against the privatization (stealing) of their water supplies by foreign multi-nationals. The issues are different but the thoughts are the same: the strong take from the weak wherever and whenever they can. The only thing that will stop them is an equal level of violence.
First rate production in every sense. Tosar (Malamadre in Cell 211) shines as the embattled executive producer forced to drop his cynical detachment and fully engage with a people he once scorned.
