Sinopsis: La leyenda, los detalles y la mentira detrás de la ciudad boliviana que salió a pelear una guerra por el agua. Una exploración de la relación perdida entre el ser humano con el agua, que a su vez se convierte en la relación perdida del ser humano consigo mismo.
In 2001, the residents of Cochabamba, Bolivia, took to the streets in protest against the sale of the rights over their city’s water supplies to a multinational. Mexican documentary filmmaker Tin Dirdamal traveled to Cochabamba to see if the so-called “Water War” was the epic social movement it is remembered as, or, as he says in his own words at one point in the film, to discover the “meaning behind that struggle”. Drawing on archive materials and interviews with the movement’s ringleaders, including the mother of a young man killed in the confrontation and a general who was ordered to pitch his troops against his own people, Rivers of Men gives both sides a voice in what can only be deemed an honest, albeit controversial attempt to get at the truth and render an objective version of events.
