Documentary following two young brothers (aged 14 and 12) that work in the Bolivian mines. It's a hideous reality that continues to this day. These people are deeply religious; outside the mines, they pray to God. The twist is that they believe that deep in the mines is the domain of Satan. When they're down there in those horrific conditions, they pray to the Devil for safe passage. This is a different sort of Satanism than the one I read about in the book "Lucifer Rising" (thanks for the loan PW!). This makes the folks interviewed in that book look like what they are - a bunch of bored and privileged Caucasians with too much time and money on their hands. Of course this movie was deeply upsetting to me, with scenes of children in peril and animal ritualistic sacrifice. What a mess.
