On August 6, 1825, in Chuquisaca, a country was born that even Simón Bolívar didn't want. Lima and Buenos Aires both claimed Upper Peru, but neither capital city took it.
In this documentary, we explore thirteen centuries of Bolivian history: Tiwanaku and its raised fields, the Cerro Rico of Potosí and the mita labor system, the siege of La Paz by Túpac Katari and Bartolina Sisa, the first cry for independence in 1809, the republics of Juana Azurduy, the Battle of Tumusla, and the Assembly of Chuquisaca that created the Republic of Bolívar. And what happened afterward to Bolívar, Sucre, and Juana Azurduy.
