Juan Carlos Rulfo, Director
As part of THE GREEN, Sundance Channel presents a series of documentary films focusing on timely and pressing environmental issues of the day.
Appeared at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival
To give a human face to seemingly unendurable labor, Mexican documentarian Juan Carlos Rulfo visited a major construction site as workers toiled to build an upper deck of Mexico City's immense Periferico Highway. Crane operators, masons and laborers — largely anonymous to motorists who speed past them — speak to the cameras about their lives, hopes and beliefs, and about their risky and often deadly profession. Rulfo's "absorbing" (New York Times) documentary won the Grand Jury Prize for World Documentary at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
