También la lluvia (Even the Rain)
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. In a somewhat ironic twist, the movie makers faced the criticism that they exploited the local people who were serving as extras. The movie was shot during a period of political instability when making a movie about the recent political history was a very dangerous prospect, and the producers faced threats to abandon the shoot.
