| 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. |
