democracy the US could learn from</i>. <span class="body"></span>
<p style="">Born
out of the US 'War on Drugs', an Aymara Indian named Evo - backed by a
troop of coca leaf farmers - travels through Andes and Amazon in jeans
and sneakers, leading a historic bid to become Bolivia's first
indigenous president. A lively story about geopolitics, people's
movements, indigenous culture, and one man's impressive determination.
With little money, but through ingenious organizing, the indigenous
majority of Bolivia was able to elect a person who represented their
interests, and would work to ... distribute the wealth of the country
more fairly. All these are radical ideas in the US. ... See <a

<br>
<b>Cocalero</b> closely follows Evo's campaign, getting up close and
personal with the candidate and the union organization backing him.
What makes Evo so fascinating is how unlikely a candidate he is. While
the burly candidate shrewdly watches for signs of yankee-instigated
coups d'état and fields trick questions from right-wing TV
personalities ("<i>If you are elected, will we be invaded by Cubans?</i>"),
local unions conduct voting rehearsals for the unlettered. </p>
<p>While the popular movement for Evo grew, there were US political
advisors who were working to get the establishment candidate elected.
That issue is covered in the film <i> <b> Our Brand Is Crisis</b></i>
which features James Carville as he devises media strategies to
frighten people into voting against Morales. "<br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">"<i>The other thing
we do, and
what’s going on right now in Latin America is that as soon as one of
these
anti-American presidents is elected, <b style="">such
as Evo Morales</b></i>...<i> in Bolivia, one of us goes in and says,
'Hey, congratulations, Mr. President. Now that you’re president, I just
want to
tell you that I can make you very, very rich, you and your family. We
have
several hundred million dollars in this pocket if you play the game our
way. If
you decide not to, over in this pocket, I’ve got a gun with a bullet
with your name
on it, in case you decide to keep your campaign promises and throw us
out.</i>' "~John Perkins, author <i><u>Confessions of an Economic Hit
Man</u></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
