Iciar Bollain's Film Even The Rain

Even the Rain is a film that illustrates the parallelisms between Christopher Columbus’s exploitation of indigenous native tribes in search of gold in the 1500’s and the modern day multinational corporations and Bolivian government who have allowed the privatization of natural water resources. Iciar Bollain’s film is about the filming of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in a new land exploiting the native tribes by demanding gold and brutally punishing those who did not comply in the name of the Spanish empire. The location of the Columbus film shooting was Cochabamba, Bolivia in the year 2000. This was a period of social rebellion in Cochabamba when multinational corporations were privatizing the water and demanding citizens pay high price
