CERRO RICO – THE SILVER MOUNTAIN

Armin Thalhammer | Bolivia, Austria 2016 | 30 Min. | OmeU

In the vertiginous Bolivian highlands rests Cerro Rico, the rich mountain full of tradition and great meaning. For over 400 years people there have been mining for silver. The movie offers an impressive insight into the hard and dangerous daily routine of Cerro Rico’s miners. Dust, hollow hammering and the headlights generate a unique and bizarre scenery, in one of the most dangerous   in the world.
