While goods and capital can cross over borders freely, those escaping horror, hunger and war get stuck on the fences. And if despite being torn to shreds, they do manage to jump the fence, and if they can overcome their cold and thirst, then they cross the wide-open sea in a nutshell, to reach our beloved economy, which in such dire need of cheap labor, welcomes those able hands by embracing them with untenable salaries. Now that the slaves have arrived, they start building the pyramids. EL BAOBAB DE PIEDRA (THE STONE BAOBAB) Marco Potyomkin betacam / 86' / 2010 / Spain English and spanish subtitled V. O.

Y si rotos, hechos jirones, consiguen saltar la valla, si escapando de la sed y del frío atraviesan sobre una cáscara de nuez el ancho mar, nuestra amada economía, tan necesitada de mano de obra desamparada, acoge los brazos hábiles y los abraza con salarios de hambre. Llegados los esclavos, comenzaron a construirse las pirámides. EL BAOBAB DE PIEDRA Marco Potyomkin betacam / 86' / 2010 / España V.O. subtitulada en inglés y español V. O.
