This paper analyzes how movies can showcase experiences during historical moments and evoke the consciousness of people throughfeature films such as "Even the Rain" (Icíar Bollaín, 2010), inspired by the "Water War" that broke out in Cochabamba, Bolivia in 2000. First, I elaborate on the film's story and indicate the different reception it received in Spain, where the film was made, and Bolivia,where it was shot. It was well received in Spain because it depicted the parallelism in history between the Conquest era and present day,and the resistance of a united people against oppression. In contrast,in Bolivia, it was received with a polemic because it was considered to be plagiarized from the Bolivian film "To Hear the Birds Singing"(Jorge Sanjinés, 1995)and accused of having a colonial view of the film.Second, to clarify the bases of such contrasting critiques, I attempt to examine the historical and social visions of both societies, one suzerain and the other colonized. Third, I explain the historical process, politicoeconomic background, and the impact of ochabamba's "Water War" on Bolivian and international societies, and clarify how this crucial historical subject is reconstructed and what message is conveyed through the film. Finally, I suggest how we can learn the history and facts through the films.
