Alicia en el país (2008)

Alicia en el país tells the real story that took place in 2004, of a thirteen year old Bolivian girl who undertook a singular journey: to walk to the town of San Pedro de Atacama, in the Chilean altiplano, to look for work. It was 180 kilometers between desert, snow and salt flats, with the purpose of helping her family and responding to an ancient Quechua tradition, where the entrance to adulthood implies making a long journey.
