Spectacular Movements - feature documentary film
This Bolivian film, co-produced by The Cultural Conservancy, is a journey of memory, identity and justice, following a troupe of young actors who gather testimonies of the movements that anchor their urban, Indigenous identity: the migrations of the countryside to their city, El Alto, and the popular rebellion of 2003. Their art, and this film, seeks to do justice to these movements by embodying, criticizing and remaking them through creative political dialogue.
