April 5: También la lluvia / Even the Rain

Thursday, April 5, 7:00 pm, UNC Charlotte main campus, McKnight Hall, Cone Center

Icíar Bollaín, Mexico, Spain, 2011 / 104 min.

Spanish with English subtitles

The Spanish Film Club series was made possible with the support of Pragda, SPAIN arts & culture and the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain. This showing was also made possible with the support of the UNC Charlotte Chancellor’s Diversity Challenge Fund.

Introduction by TBD. Discussion will follow screening.

In Even the Rain by Icíar Bollaín, filmmaker Sebastian (Gael García Bernal) and his cynical producer Costa (Luis Tosar) arrive in Cochabamba, Bolivia to make a film about Columbus’s voyage to the New World and the subjugation of the indigenous population. Just as filming begins, the natives face a crisis when the government privatizes the water company and prices skyrocket. Daily protests erupt and the local man cast as a rebellious sixteenth century Taino chief, also becomes a leader in the water hike protests. Bollaín intercuts footage of Sebastian’s film, with recordings of the demonstrations that occurred during the real life “Water Wars” that took place when the Bolivian government privatized the water company in 2000.
