Tribus de la Inquisición

Directed by Mabel Lozano

With Marco Vidal

Six men burn like a medieval torch in the plaza of Ivirgarzama, the coca leaf producing capital and center of drug trafficking in Bolivia. Hundreds of neighbors beat them with sticks before pouring gasoline on them and setting them on fire, accusing them of having stolen a truck from the last century. Bolivia holds the macabre ranking of lynchings at the hands of civilians. It is a state where justice and citizen security are assumed on their own and by force of the herd.
