Tambien La Lluvia

Tambien la Lluvia is a really interesting movie that unravels some of the darkest historic moments from the discovery of America to, the Cochabamba Water War. This film also makes us understand that slavery still exist in our modern world, the only difference is that it is covered by a wall that I like to call “lack of knowledge”. People with power always try to exploit weaker people, at the end, the powerful people understand that the lack of power come unnoticed when the weak combine forces.

Sebastian and Costa are headed to Bolivia to film a movie were they will show to the world what kind of person was really Christobal Colombus. Costa chose Bolivia, because it is a developing country. Meaning that he can pay the workers basically

They show a scene were the government shuts down the water system that Daniel and all the affected bought, all these was because the government raised the price of the water; to a level that almost no one could pay for these services. Time after that scene Sebastian and Costa talk to the governor of Cochabamba, and they tell him that he has raised to high the water for the people of Bolivia. The governor basically shuts them down by telling them, “I have heard that you pay your extras 2 dollars a day”. This is one of the main parts when me as a viewer understood that Sebastian and costa were basically doing slavery, but just by paying them 2 dollars they could get away with it. Daniel still in riots against the government and that is affecting the filming of the movie, so Costa offers him 10,000 dollars if he stops goings to the riots. A day later they find out his in prison, so they get him out, and finish the scenes were Daniel takes part. Days after that they understand that this riots are getting out of hand. They have decided to live Bolivia in search of a need place to finish the movie. Costa doesn’t leave, instead he helps Daniel’s daughter that was badly injured. As Costa is about to leave Daniel gives him a really valuable gift to Costa, and its small glass bottle full of yaku.

In conclusion the movie does a really good job interpreting that not everything we know is true,
