Film: The Devil's Miner

The award-winning film 'The Devil's Miner' opens March 17th at the Cinema Village in New York. Directed by long-time collaborators Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani, THE DEVIL’S MINER is a moving portrait of two brothers – 14-year-old Basilio and 12-year-old Bernardino – who work deep inside the silver mines of Cerro Rico, Bolivia. Through the children's eyes, we encounter the world of devout Catholic miners who sever their ties with God upon entering Cerro Rico (also known as “the mountain that eats men alive”). It is an ancient belief that the devil, as represented by statues constructed in the tunnels, determines the fate of all who work within the mines, which date back to the sixteenth century.
