_Mano a Mano Movie Night!

Tambien La Lluvia (Even the Rain)
Monday, January 30
7:00 p.m. • Unity Church
The story: to save money when making a movie about Columbus and his maltreatment of the indigenous people of the Caribbean, a director chooses to film in Bolivia. During the filming, native cast members become embroiled in the “Cochabamba water wars,” a series of protests in which Cochabamba residents successfully opposed the privatization of the municipal water supply in 2000. The Spanish (or Mexican) cast members playing the part of heroic priests who opposed Columbus’ inhumanity, are cowards in the water wars. A brief discussion to follow.
