This powerful film recounts the massive rebellion of miners, teachers, indigenous people and women in Bolivia in February 2003 against the privatization and sale of the country’s gas to Chile and for export to the United States. This privatization was the direct result of the US/IMF privatization policies. The Bolivian army was called in to repress the people and over 33 were murdered and hundreds were wounded.
This important film will also be followed by a labor music video from Bolivia.
