BOLIVIA’S POTOSI SILVER MINES – WHERE COLONIAL HISTORY MEETS TODAY’S TECH-DRIVEN DEMAND [MODERN TIMES REVIEW]
"Professedly old motives of mining and its social significance gain a new, contemporary light in an aesthetically striking and deeply humanistic debut documentary, Silver premiering at the Krakow Film Festival. A poignant group picture of the mining community in one of the world’s oldest and still-active silver mines—the Potosi Mines in Bolivia, which have been officially operating since 1545—becomes an animated and thoughtful demonstration of the revolving colonial underbelly of the world economy in its various manifestations throughout the centuries. Today, the Potosi Mines again rise in importance as a source of silver for AI and the advanced technologies that will supposedly build the «new» world of the future".
