Synopsis:
An ancient village on the brink of extinction, “The Men of the Lake (Los Hombres del Lago)†is a documentary about the Uru-Murato village Puñaca Tintamaria: one of the oldest, poorest, and most historically important and overlooked villages in Latin America. Founded circa 2000 B.C., it is currently on the brink of extinction. “Los Hombres del Lago†presents the story of the smallest Bolivian community of Uru-Muratos, Puñaca Tintamaria. The Uru-Muratos are descendents of the oldest community in Bolivia, the Urus. Known as the “men of the lake†for their close relationship with Lake Poopó, their history is a story of continual enslavement. Narrated by the community’s ex-leader, Daniel Moricio Choque, the movie recounts the history of their community, customs, and current problems: their continuous poverty, lack of land and representation, the contamination of Lake Poopó, and the impact of global warming. This is their story, their struggle, and their survival.
