Director's statement

With The Great Movement, I wanted to explore the lives of miners and workers in La Paz, blending realism with mysticism. By weaving documentary textures with dreamlike visions, I sought to portray both harsh reality and spiritual survival. What the film expresses is that illness—whether personal, social, or environmental—demands healing that goes beyond medicine. The presence of shamans, rituals, and urban chaos shows the interconnectedness of body, community, and nature. The film invites viewers to consider resilience not only as endurance but as a search for renewal through collective and ancestral memory.
