Under the Ground

"A humble, serious and sincere short documentary film with a hard aesthetic approach." - Jorge Ayala Blanco

A day in the life of three miners from the Real del Monte and Pachuca District, a few days from the closing of the last mine after being worked for five hundred years, shows us the immutability of human exploitation throughout history.
