También la lluvia (2010)

In this episode, we dive into Icíar Bollaín's 2010 film También la lluvia, a powerful historical drama that tackles the complexities of colonialism, exploitation, and social justice. Set during the 2000 Cochabamba Water War in Bolivia, the film weaves two parallel narratives—one about a modern fight for water rights, the other about the brutal legacy of Spanish colonialism. Through the film-within-a-film device, we follow a Spanish crew, led by Sebastián (Gael García Bernal) and Costa (Luis Tosar), as they attempt to shoot a movie about Christopher Columbus’s exploitation of indigenous peoples. Tune in for an exploration of this multi-layered masterpiece!
