Appointed Archbishop in early 1977, Monseñor Óscar Romero worked tirelessly and in constant personal peril until the day he was assassinated in March 1980. Romero broke off ties with the military and aligned himself with the poor, delivering messages of hope in weekly sermons which became national events in his country of birth, El Salvador.
With rare recordings and film footage from Romero’s own collection and a wide range of interviews from those whose lives were changed by Archbishop Romero, including church activists, human rights lawyers, former guerrilla fighters and politicians, this documentary is a timely portrait of one individual’s quest to speak the truth.

Sebastián (Gael García Bernal) and Costa (Luis Tosar) have set out to make a film about Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America. While Sebastián, the director, tries to demystify the character by presenting him as an ambitious and unscrupulous man; Costa, the producer, only cares about adjusting the film to the modest budget available; that’s precisely why he will choose Bolivia. The film is shot in Cochabamba, where the privatization and sale of water to a multinational plant among the population will blow up the Bolivian War of Water of 2000.
Obaba

Dublin 2

Lourdes embarks on a trip to the Obaba territories. With a small video camera, she aims to capture the reality of Obaba. She soon discovers that those who live there, such as Merche, Ismael or Tomás, are anchored in a past from which they cannot – or do not want to – escape. Through them, Lourdes tries to reconstruct the puzzle that gives meaning to their lives and allows her to capture reality through her camera.
