Kori Chaca: Life & Portraits of Bolivian miners

In 1986, Estensoroís neo-liberal government left more than 27.000 miners unemployed in the Oruro Department in Bolivia. Those were times when San Jose mines were dismantled by COMIBOL (Bolivian Miners Corporation). Nowadays, the same miners and their sons are making profits in worse working conditions than in the 80ís: they carry bags full of tin (near 60 kg) on their backs, there are no water bombs inside the mine and, most of the times, the elevator doesn't work, trapping them inside the mine for an uncertain number of hours. That's work and life in that mine, lost in the Bolivian Altiplano. © MANU BRABO
