See the most agreed on films →A Spanish film crew arrives in Bolivia to make a historical epic about Christopher Columbus's exploitation of the natives. As they shoot their film, they become embroiled in a real-life conflict: the Cochabamba Water War of 2000, where the local population rises up against the privatization of their water supply. The filmmaker and his lead actor are forced to confront the irony of their project as they witness a modern-day struggle against oppression that mirrors the one they are dramatizing.
