SILVER

REPRESENTED BY KFF

Through the eyes of a 12-year-old Juvi, we experience life of some inhabitants of the oldest mine in Bolivia, whose deaths weigh as much as the mined silver, confronting the limits of human endurance, and the remanence of history's bloodstains. A visual statement on the foundations of modern wealth.
