Separetly or together? Because,it will take sheer brilliance to herd the two breeds simultanously.

I saw this wicked amazing documentary last night.

 

Unlike the docs I normally see that are very beautiful visaully and have a hopeful message tied into the sadness and impotent anger.

 

This one was hopeless from the get go and just kept getting worse.

By the end I was left with a black and grey picture of this young boys life and the feeling that he had a long shot.

it was called the Devil's miner and watching felt like watching someone slowly die.

 

It was about silver mining in Bolivia. The star of the movie was a boy by the name of Basillio who was 14 at the time. When we first meet him he has just finished a double shift at the mine (24 hrs) complete with dynamite. His brother who is 12 years old helps him out. And it just keeps getting worse.

 

I was struck most by what the priest said about these children:

"They are like Jesus on the cross all over again and we...can't help them all we can do is watch as they sacrifice themselves for us."

 

I highly recommend it. Rent it with an open mind and a crate of tissues.

For the leaky eyed female and the sensitive male yes.

 

You just have to wink while rubbing your nose with your fore finger at the store counter.

Then they take you to the back where they sell tissues in crates past the martian outdoor gear.

 

 

Yes, I have those conditions are just as heart breaking.

 

to quote Stephan Colbert:

 

"buying her diamonds say let's exploit Africa all over again."
