Costa and Sebastián arrive in Cochabamba, Bolivia, to shoot a period film about Columbusâs arrival in the Americas. Sebastián, the director, wants to upturn the entire conservative myth of Western Civilisationâs arrival in the Americas as a force for good. His story is about what Columbus set in motion; the obsession with gold, ! the hunt for slaves by Spanish mastiffs, and punitive violence to those Indians who fought back. Costa, the producer, doesnât care what happened yesterday never mind five centuries ago, he just wants to get the job done on time and within budget. The battle to get their film made intertwines with the fight of their Bolivian crew members, deprived of their most basic rights, prohibited from collecting even the rain.
As Sebastián and Costa struggle with their film, the violence in the community in which they shoot increases by the day until the entire city explodes into the now infamous Bolivian Water War of April 2000. Five hundred years after Columbus, sticks and stones confront the steel and gunpowder of a modern army. David against Goliath once again. Only this time they fight not about gold, but the simplest of life-giving elements: water.
Features full screenplay with extra scenes and introductions from Paul Laverty and IcÃar BollaÃn.
Winner, Audience Award, Berlin Film Festival 2011
Brid! ging Bor ders Award, Palm Springs International Film Festival

Irish singing star Daniel OâDonnell! âs mother, Julia, grew up on a remote island off the northwe! st coast of Ireland, going barefoot and doing hard labor as child during the poverty-stricken 1920s. The hard work continued through her teenage years as she picked potatoes in the fields and traveled to Scotland to gut fish in the ports. After she married, Julia's beloved husbandÂFrancieÂwas forced to work away from home for months on end. Physically demanding, the work eventually took its toll and Julia found herself widowed and penniless with five children. In this inspiring story of triumph over adversity, Julia explains how she battled through this dark period by knitting sweaters to support her family. In an amazing twist of fate, this hard-working woman and dedicated mother watched from the wings as her offspring flourished. Her daughter Margaret and son Daniel went on to achieve fame and fortune as chart-topping singers. Poignant, warm, and laced with great humor, this is a gripping story of hardship, sacrifice, and maternal love.
