The Film
A couple who use wheelchairs lead a movement to secure a monthly pension for people with disabilities. Together they assemble and inspire a caravan of hundreds battling cold and hunger on a 35-day, 250-mile journey over the Andes to the Bolivian capital. Facing tear gas from the police and vitriol from their fellow citizens, these activists roll into La Paz to rewrite national history.
