In The Shadow of a Mountain

An intimate glimpse into Bolivia's Cerro Rico Mountain silver mining community and the individuals who depend on the mountain's waning supply of minerals to survive. For the people of Potosí, mining is not only a trade but a deeply spiritual practice that has its roots in ancient Andean culture and religion. A 16 year-old boy who works as a grave keeper in the town's cemetery bridges these stories that converge to express unique perspectives about life and death.
