Vieques: una batalla inconclusa

For more than 60 years the United States Navy used the island of Vieques to test weapons and train soldiers. Ever since the Navy occupied the island, the inhabitants opposed their presence. Finally, after decades of resistance and struggle, the United States Armed Forces were forced to leave the island and cease all military practices on its surroundings. Now, more than a decade after the Navy’s questionable departure, the islanders are demanding the US Government to fully decontaminate and give back the terrains exploited. Unsatisfied with the little commitment from Federal Agencies to assume responsibilities, the Viequenses face a new struggle to demand justice within their lands.

The parallel stories of these two unique sites help create a compelling observational mosaic of mining life in Latin America: an elegy to the high plateaus of the Andes mountains and a stunning record of manual labor in southwestern Bolivia.

1964. El colectivu de dispidíos

The history of the Asturian mining basin from the mouths of its protagonists. We are after the victory of the national side in the Civil War, the families decimated with the dead in common graves. The "fugaos" and the guerrilla struggle that they maintained under the slogan of the PC. The “normalized” return to the mines with surveillance by the Civil Guard, the first strikes, timid and disorganized, spontaneous; the organization then, unionized and clandestine; the “resistance boxes”, the constant pulse against Francoism…
