www.thepoliticsandthepeople.com In trying to reconcile ancient heritage and international regulations, Bolivian cocaleros (coca growers), with the guidance of President Evo Morales, are taking novel approaches to coca growing and distribution. The Politics And The People The State of Coca and Cocaine, a documentary by Michael Wilde and Valerie Schenkman, is divided into four parts: an overview of the past history of coca regulation told from a cocalero's perspective; rationalization, or self-regulated of coca farming; alternative development, international participation in introducing crops to substitute coca growers' income; and industrialization, the Bolivian government's attempt to introduce coca to an international market. Issues regarding human rights and self-regulation pervade The Politics and the People's look at drug control and tradition within an impoverished society.

This film was made in La Paz, Bolivia in April and May 2011. To watch this film on Vimeo: vimeo.com The 21st century is characterized by globalization, a shrinking of the world through neoliberal economic policies and shared networks of information. Despite the exportation of Western values to the entire world and the legacy of hundreds of years of colonization, there too exists an active and creative resistance. Developing nations like Bolivia have enjoyed a thriving tradition of community media, and a new consciousness has emerged to organize this popular energy around the process of decolonization. One tool that has been used in Bolivia, a country with a majority indigenous population, to achieve true freedom and independence from its forced historical legacy is art and media technologies. This documentary film tells three stories. Starting with the history of indigenous filmmaking, Aymara filmmaker Patricio Luna explains the importance of reclaiming indigenous identity. Then, sociologist Silvia Rivera and her art collective demonstrate the physical realization of decolonization theory through the construction of a community center in La Paz. Finally, a group of young people in El Alto discusses their innovative community television project that seeks to create content that is meaningful and reflective for their own community. This film was partially funded by a Undergraduate Research Award from the Office of Undergraduate Research at the University of Maryland ...

DemocracyNow.org - In 2010, then Ambassador Pablo Solon headed Bolivia's climate negotiating team for the UN Climate Change Conference in Cancún, Mexico. However, for this year's climate summit he joined climate justice activists outside the official conference in the streets of Durban demanding the United States, and other historically large greenhouse gas emitters, agree to legally binding emissions cuts. "Developed countries -- like the US, Europe, Japan, Russia -- are just trying to avoid their responsibility when it comes to greenhouse emissions cuts. So that is the real outcome out of Durban, and that is why there is so much concern around the world because especially the developing countries -- the poor nations and the poor people around the world, even in the United States -- are going to be those ones that are going to suffer the consequences of this. That is why we call it a climate apartheid," Solon tells Democracy Now! Dec. 12.

Evo Morales: Sæt en stopper for kapitalismen www.arbejderen.dk Juan Evo Morales Ayma (born October 26, 1959), popularly known as Evo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈeβo]), is the 80th and current President of Bolivia, having held that position since 2006. Politically a socialist, his presidency has also seen a focus on implementing socialist policies in the country, introducing land reforms, nationalising various key industries and opposing United States and corporate involvement in the country's politics. Born into a working class family in Isallawi village in the Orinoca Canton, Evo is of native Aymara descent. Initially pursuing various manual jobs such as llama herding, he eventually settled into growing coca, becoming actively involved in the cocalero movement, the coca growers' trade unions. Morales was first elected President of Bolivia on December 18, 2005, with 53.7% of the popular vote. Two and a half years later he substantially increased this majority; in a recall referendum on August 14, 2008, more than two thirds of voters voted to keep him in office. Morales won presidential elections again in December 2009 by 63% and continued to his second term of presidency. Morales is the leader of a political party called the Movement for Socialism (Movimiento al Socialismo, with the Spanish acronym MAS, meaning "more"). MAS was involved in social protests such as the gas conflict and the Cochabamba protests of 2000, along with many other groups, that are collectively ...
