También la lluvia (Even the Rain) 
Mexican filmmakers Sebastian (Gael García Bernal) and Costa (Luis Tosar), shooting a film in Bolivia about the conquest by Christopher Columbus, become embroiled in controversy when their film schedule runs up against the Cochabamba protests. With local natives rising up against the privatization of their water supply. As the production is beset by more and more problems and the riots escalate, the tension rises between the crew members; as art imitates life.
