DESCRIPTION:With a report and discussion of the critical political situation in Bolivia 
 today and the U.S.-backed, right-wing secessionist movement in the 
 resource-rich “Media Luna” region.\n\nBolivia’s coca-growing regions 
 are a target of the U.S. “war on drugs”. The Bolivian government, 
 backed by Washington, attempted to eradicate coca crops, devastating the 
 livelihood of Indigenous people who cultivate it. In response, the farmers 
 formed a powerful union. Their leader, the Aymara Indian Evo Morales, made 
 an historic bid for the presidency in 2005.\n\nThis lively story about 
 geopolitics, people's movements, Indigenous culture, and one man's 
 impressive determination, Cocalero closely follows Evo Morales' election 
 campaign—where he proposes the redistribution of wealth, 
 renationalization of industries and legalization of coca products.\n\nNot 
 surprisingly, Morales’ populist platform elicits attacks from right-wing 
 Bolivian and U.S. corporate media. But despite this demonization campaign, 
 Morales wins by an unprecedented majority. Cocalero offers fresh insight 
 into big political changes afoot in Latin America.  86min., 2007, Spanish 
 w/ English subtitles.\n\n
