Abuela Grillo (2009) watch online

Abuela Grillo (Spanish for "Grandmother Cricket") is a 2009 Bolivian-Danish animated short film. It was directed by French animator Denis Chapon and is based on the Ayoreo myth of the Direjná, the ancestral owner of water and rain.

The film quickly became an icon of Latin American social cinema due to its strong critique of water privatization and the exploitation of natural resources, making a clear allusion to the Cochabamba Water War (Guerra del Agua) in Cochabamba, Bolivia, in 2000. The titular character is voiced and sung by Bolivian musician Luzmila Carpio.
