Knowing Your
Bolivia's government has turned its back on their citizens with disabilities...and disparaged them as unproductive in society. Miguel Mamani Coro, one of the protestors of the disability movement, tells his side of the story - Miguel showed up in Laz Paz with bravery, made his family proud and for the first time, realized his value in life.
LA LUCHA: When a group of people with disabilities in Bolivia unite in protest for a pension, they never imagined what was to come. They trek across the Andes, confronting a government that tries to silence them and a society indifferent to their struggle. A film by Violeta Ayala.
