Why Democracy? Part 7: Looking for the Revolution (2007x43)

: 09, 2007

Documentary which looks at how, after winning the Bolivian election, ex-coca leaf farmer Evo Morales nationalised the oil industry and passed laws on agrarian land reform, but struggled to wipe away the old system of corruption and nepotism. His movement is paralysed as the landowners conspire against him, and the film shows the growing tension as the people and Morales fight to achieve their revolution.
