Synopsis
September 20th 2003. Before the dawn broke, the soldiers attacked Warisata, an aymara village in Bolivia. Three people died and this lit the fuse of the War of Gas, an indigenous revolt that overthrew the president and opened a new age in Bolivia. An 84-year-old man –don Basilio- walked the paths today asking the old people of Warisata about the old days, when they were forced to work for the landlords.
