Steel Life

About Steel Life

Manuel Bauer offers us a fascinating journey across Peru aboard a freight train; an incredible descent from the Altiplano lead mines, at an altitude of 4,800 metres, to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Set amidst staggering scenery, Steel Life alternates between a road movie peppered with encounters and the social x-ray of a country victim of the neo-colonial system.

Steel Life is a 2022 documentary film directed by Manuel Bauer. At 95 minutes long, it arrived in April 2022.

It streams on DocAlliance Films and True Story in the United States.
