Title: Fresh and interesting
Product review: This film provides an opportunity to witness the road to the presidency of an unlikley candidate in Bolivia. The filmmaker's access to Evo Morales and some of his supporters and allies provides a window into a political process that is both organic and extremely organized and hierchal. The power of community organization seems to outshine education, money, even ideology. The film also shows us the lives of women and men who live off of coca production, whose business has become more profitable as a result of the US crackdown on cocaine production. This relative profitability is also a powerful political tool to rally farmers behind this canditate. The complexities are somewhat burried in the story, but the perspective is sufficiently fresh to keep you watching and thinking.
