Under the Spainsh milions of slaves died there. Still poor local miners are searching in the mountain for minerals. A dog lies on the rubble outside on of the hundreds of mineshafts that open in the hills of Cerro Rico. Potosi beneath. Potosí, Bólivía. Borgin í skugga fjalllsins Cerro Rico í rúmlega 4000 m hæð, þar sem voru einhverjar auðugustu silfurnámur allra tíma, arðrændar af Spænskum en undir þeirra stjórn dóu milljónir í námunum. Uppi í hlíðum fjallsins, horft yfir borgina.
