Bolivia after Chen begins in medias res, with a long shot filmed atop a truck traveling up the Bolivian mountains to transport tin miners. It is a place where union organizing is prohibited, and where women and men, sometimes even children, can work up to 24 hours a day. This was the situation in the mines until the fall of 1969, when a socialist military coup shook the country. The question of whether the situation would really change is what Lindqvist explores in his film.

Because that’s what it’s about: the power over our work. That can be discussed based on this film.
