Abuela Grillo - Water privatization in Bolivia

A short film shedding light on the water privatization issues in Bolivia.


An animated short-film produced in The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. The Animation Workshop included: Nicobis, Escorzo, and the entire Community of Bolivians Animators and is supported by the Danish Government. Animation work by eight Bolivians, French-directed, music by the Bolivian ambassador in France, and, composed by another French collaborator.



The film contains the odd word in Spanish but maintains a silent film approach as to interpret the metaphors being presented.

The original video can be found on Vimeo here, with another highly relevant theatrical production from Spain called Tambien La Lluvia (Even the Rain), one that I personally enjoyed and would recommend. The film stars Gael Garcia Bernal (Amores Perros, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Babel) for those of you familiar with this actor.
