Nacemos de la tierra (2018)

Aurélio and his father-in-law Apolinar, both Kallawaya healers, have contributed to several books by German anthropologist Ina Rösing. While the former welcomes urban patients to his native village of Lunlaya at the gateway to the Bolivian Altiplano, the latter has chosen to open a consultorio in the capital, La Paz. Their intertwined trajectories raise questions about the evolution of healthcare practices and the place of anthropological works in the construction of memory.
