A crooked CEO is kidnapped and nobody cares enough to pay his ransom.

In 1973, Chile undergoes a coup d'etat. 30 years later, it appears that it was - alongside with all the coups in the southern cone - organised by the CIA in order to stop the possibility of having a communist block on its south.

In 2008, Rodrigo Vazquez made 'Child Miners' profiling the lives of 10 year old Alex and his best friend, 13 year old Jorge. Over the past six years, Vazquez has returned regularly to film the boys as their lives have taken radically different paths. Filmed over nearly a decade, this is a powerful testimony to the lives of Bolivia's child miners.
