Les Ânes ont soif

About This Movie

Les Ânes ont soif is a peculiar documentary that dives into the political atmosphere surrounding Rafael Correa’s visit to Paris, a moment largely overlooked by mainstream media. It captures the essence of Ecuador's struggle and its resonance with leftist movements across Europe, particularly during a tumultuous time for Greece. The film has a raw, observational style that gives viewers a sense of the grassroots movements emerging from Ecuador, showcasing the idealism of Syriza supporters and non-orthodox economists. The pacing feels unhurried, which allows you to soak in the discussions and the fervor of the activists. It’s that blend of intimate interviews and sporadic public demonstrations that creates a palpable tension and a feeling of urgency around the themes of resistance and solidarity.
