I DID A 4 MONTHS INVESTIGATION TO PRODUCE THIS PIECE WICH IS PART OF A MULTIMEDIA PRODUCT. WE PROVED THAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS VIOLATING LAWS WICH WERE MEANT TO PROTECT INDIGENOUS RIGHTS AND WE DISCOVER A CORRUPT NETWORK AROUND THE PUBLIC WORKERS WHO WERE OBLIGED BY LAW TO SPEAK NATIVE TONGUES BUT WERE BUYING THE CERTIFICATES INSTEAD. I WAS ALSO IN CHARGE OF THE FIELD PRODUCTION.
THE WILD FIRES IN BOLIVIA LASTED AROUND TWO MONTHS AND WE WERE DOCUMENTING THE WORK OF VOLUNTEERS FIRE FIGHTERS DURING WEEKS TO SEE WHAT IT WAS TO WORK WITHOUT PROPER EQUIPMENT AND AGAINST THE WILL OF HELP OF THE GOVERNMENT WHO DENIED TO DECLARE NATIONAL DISASTER EVEN WHEN 5 MILLION HECTARES OF FOREST WERE BURN TO ASHES.
REINA WAS SENT TO JAIL WITHOUT PROOFS AND DIDN´T GET A TRANSLATOR TO DEFEND HERSELF IN HER LANGUAGE. SHE´S AN INDIGENOUS WOMAN WHO ONLY SPOKE QUECHUA AND DIDN´T UNDERSTAND SHE WAS ON TRIAL ACUSED OF THE MURDER OF HER HUSBAND. I FOLLOWED THIS STORY FOR YEARS AND I STILL NEED HELP TO FINISH THE DOCUMENTARY AND BRING REINA BACK TO HER COMMUNITY IN BOLIVIA AFTER HER NIGHTMARE AS A MIGRANT IN ARGENTINA
