A reconstruction of a massacre of miners.
Sinekatalog’s take
Jorge Sanjinés reconstructs the 1967 massacre of Bolivian tin miners with the survivors themselves reenacting events. Angry, direct and documentary-like, it is a powerful, landmark film of political memory.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
