We Can Make That Teeth-Gritting Visible

Bruno Diego

We Can Make That Teeth-Gritting Visible weaves together archival images, data, judicial reports, news items, depiction of locations and a collective conversation with a neighbourhood association of El Alto city. What is condemned as an act against law can also turn out to be a space for learning. Thus appears a space in which subjectivity comes from below, from a place outside the institutions. Departing from a wave of uprising in the the city of El Alto, Bolivia, between the years 2000 and 2019, the film focuses on the usurpation and destruction of a police station. The destruction was part of the peoples uprising against the Coup d’état perpetrated in Bolivia in 2019.
