location

Rafael Uribe Uribe is the 18th district ( localidad ) of the Colombian capital city of Bogotá . The name of the district was named in honor of the murdered liberal general and politician Rafael Uribe Uribe . Uribe Uribe was the founder of the Universidad Libre and known for his political ideas in favor of the establishment of guild socialism and the trade unions in Colombia; also because of his diplomatic work and support of the Colombian coffee farmers in the fight against diseases such as coffee rust .

history

The history of the Rafael Uribe Uribe locality lies essentially in the colonial and republican era up to the 20th century , with the three great haciendas : Llano de Mesa , La Fiscala and Los Molinos de Chiguaza ; the latter was one of the largest territories in the south.

From here the development of the brick industry in Colombia began. This history was manifested in 1972 in a documentary by the two documentary filmmakers Marta Rodríguez and Jorge Silva with the title "Chircales" (brickworkers).

“Using the example of a Colombian family of brickworkers who are vegetating on the verge of subsistence, the film shows the socially determined production conditions of a third world country from a committed subjective point of view. The film, deliberately designed to be simple and oriented towards specific living conditions, is a passionate call for changes in social conditions by revolutionary means. "
