These women were dispossessed of the means of film production and the cultural and technological capital. However, they were fully aware of the power of the mass media and, in particular, of Hollywood cinema, to alienate the working class. Consequently, they acted in alliance with trusted filmmakers; using them as speakers to get their message across to distant audiences. Despite the different audiovisual mediations, the housewives represent themselves uniformly over the decades as fighters against economic, military and gender violence. Este artículo analiza las motivaciones políticas y estrategia comunicativa de los colectivos de amas de casa pertenecientes a sindicatos mineros bolivianos, con el foco puesto en sus participaciones cinematográficas, durante las tres últimas décadas del siglo veinte. Estas mujeres —desposeídas de los medios de producción cinematográfica y del capital cultural y tecnológico, pero plenamente conscientes del poder de los medios de comunicación y, en particular, del cine de Hollywood, para alienar a la clase trabajadora— actuaron en alianza con cineastas confiables; usándolos como altavoces para conseguir que su mensaje llegara a públicos distantes. A pesar de las diferentes mediaciones audiovisuales, las amas de casa se auto-representan uniformemente, a lo largo de varias décadas, como combatientes frente a la violencia económica, militar y de género.
