Child Miners: Searching for Justice | Witness

This is the fifth film Rodrigo Vazquez has made about childhood friends Alex and Jorge, having started filming them eight years ago as they began their working lives in the tin mines of Llallagua in Bolivia. Alex is still working in the mine, whilst Jorge has left this work and has joined the police and the special operations unit (UTOP). He hopes to be able to help his friend, Alex, who is in considerable financial debt owing to an accusation of a crime he denies.

Witness is a weekly show that brings world issues into focus with courageous and inspiring human stories.
