Movie Haiku:Spanish film crew recreating the torment of Native Americans after the arrival of Christopher Columbus find themselves in an ironic hall of mirrors as local "extras" begin rioting against corrupt officials privatizing their water. Filmed in Cochabamaba, Bolivia (site of acual riots), this morally challenging drama also has excellent human dynamics.
