The forsaken world of Bolivian silver miners is brought to the screen in this powerful documentary. Basilio Vargas is a 14-year-old boy living in the impoverished Cerro Rico region of Bolivia. Since the death of his father, Basilio and his younger brother Bernardino are the breadwinners in his family, and they support their mother and siblings working in the Cerro Rico silver mines. Basilio is one of 800 children who regularly work the mines, and it's indicative of the danger and physically punishing nature of the work that the miners swear fealty to "Tio" -- the Devil -- because it's believed God would never enter such a place. Cerro Rico's silver miners have an average life expectancy of 40 years or less, thanks to the poisoned air, the constant heat, the use of explosives, the primitive and unsafe equipment, and the long hours demanded of the laborers (most are sent into the mines for 24-hour shifts, and both children and adults often chew coca leaves to ward off hunger and fatigue). While Basilio's more fortunate classmates make fun of him when he's able to attend school, he realized his family need the money and he's willing to endure the agony for the small wage he makes every day. The Devil's Miner chronicles several days in the life of Basilio Vargas as a document of the inhuman conditions he and his fellow miners face, as well as the young man's bravery. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For The Devil's Miner
New Review For Movie The Devil's Miner
A mesmerizing documentary both exotic and sad.
Tom Keogh-Seattle Times

This is social documentary at its best.
Carina Chocano-Los Angeles Times

While political and social context is kept to a minimum, the darkly poetic images they capture speak volumes about what the miners go through.
Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter

This beautiful, terrible story is not easily forgotten.
Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly

Guaranteed to leave you outraged at the way children -- and, for that matter, adults -- are exploited by mining companies.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post

Directors Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani go underground themselves to expose a form of near-slavery instituted by the Spanish conquistadors more than four centuries ago.
Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times

This documentary which exposes the twin evils of child labor and silver mining, is a most powerful expose' of an ongoing, mass-scale human tragedy.
Kam Williams-San Francisco Bay View

The flawless progress of this documentary lies in the filmmakers' unwavering fealty to their subjects.
Maria Garcia-Film Journal International

A horror movie? Nope -- documentary. Though there is, I think, a good horror movie to be made here.
Luke Y. Thompson-LYTRules.com

The film has a tendency to repeat itself, even within its short running time of 82 minutes, but is still able to express a sincere sorrow.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies

It's a simple film with a direct message, but the glimpses of the surrounding social culture that has adapted to the horrors give (it) its identity.
Sean Axmaker-Seattle Post-Intelligencer

It's a testament to the filmmakers' subtle storytelling skill that we come to see these boys as heroes as well as victims.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)

A role-model of a boy with the great skill to articulate his impressive determination and plan for self-improvement.
Jules Brenner-Cinema Signals

... visually beautiful, unforced essay on legacies of colonialism.
Ernest Hardy-L.A. Weekly

At times it feels as if not cameras but the audience has been transported to the high mountains of Potosi, Bolivia -- and not so much physically but somehow spiritually.
Kim Williamson-Boxoffice Magazine

Basilio narrates his tale with such wit and wisdom that one comes away from the film wondering how much youthful potential is slowly being choked to death deep within the bowels of the earth.
Ken Fox-TV Guide's Movie Guide

Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani's documentary The Devil's Miner is so polished that it might pass for a scripted narrative feature, but that's not a bad thing.
