Even The Rain
Genre: Drama

****1/2
For most Canadians, fresh water is a given. Not so in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Even the Rain juxtaposes the real-life conflict in 2000 about the privatization of the city’s water supply with the filming a movie about Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World. Director Icíar Bollaín crafts a powerful film and draws out great performances.
