this film immerses us in the lives of the miners who work in the depths of Cerro Rico de Potosí, a mountain that has been exploited for centuries and that, to this day, continues to be the livelihood of many Bolivian families.

This film is not just a historical account, but a raw and realistic look at the conditions in which miners work day to day. It shows us the hardness of their work, the risks they face and the precarious conditions in which they survive. In addition, it makes us reflect on the legacy of the exploitation of natural resources and its consequences for both the people and the country as a whole.

Cerro Rico, known for having been the source of countless tons of silver that enriched the Spanish Empire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, remains a dangerous workplace, where men and boys risk their lives in extreme conditions. The film makes us wonder if anything has really changed since colonial times or if mining is still the same, just with other names and structures.
