- In the last few years Bolivia has seen huge protest movements aginst privatisation of gas and water, the unjust tax system there and succesive right-wing governments.
- Students and workers have led the movements which have succesfully toppeled a number of presidents and brought the left-leaning President Morales to power.
- Now in Bolivia, Venezuela and throughout Latin America, the need for a socialist alternative to capitalism is firmly on the agenda.
- This 35 minute documentary captures the events in Bolivia including the Water, Gas and Tax Wars. It is a must see for all who wish to see similar movements built here to fight against environmental destruction, war, privatisation and low pay.
