Cerro Rico in Potosì (Bolivia) is a lawless territory of brutal violence. Here the miners put their lives into play working in tangled tunnels to extract silver and zinc. Those who come out alive believe they have right to do everything. Thus they start hunting women. Minerita is the story of three women, Lucia (40), Ivone (16) and Abigail (17), who work as night whatchman in the mine, struggling to survive. Their only weapons: their courage and the dynamite. Raùl de la Fuente has been able to portray in Minerita the hard life of women in Bolivia's mines through a documentary that has been recognized with the Goya Award for best short documentary. During the filming of the documentary, a car accident claimed the lives of two boys. I't's common in Potosì: people call it “the mountain eating men”.
