So, my good friend Sarah sent me a link to this short film she saw this week. If anyone is in the DC area on Saturday, it's playing at the AFI theater in Silver Spring on Saturday morning at 10:30am. It looks fantastic. The film is described in the following way:
Bolivian indigenous peasants, la cholitas wear traditional layered skirts when slamming each other in the ring. The luchas' strength inside the ring and out is remarkable.
I mean, come on, how could you NOT want to see that???
I've suggested to my colleague, Elizabeth (who will be joining me in Bolivia for my last two weeks there) that we should go check it out. The event takes place in El Alto (a suburb of La Paz) every Sunday night. She seemed interested, but then reminded me that El Alto is ranked amongst the most dangerous cities in the world. So this may not happen. But we'll see.
Today is my last day in the office and I fly on Sunday, so more from the southern hemisphere to come soon!
