Journeyman Pictures Presents: Two Bolivias

"US capitalism is the worst enemy to humanity" Evo Morales

Two Bolivias, produced one year ago, explains the current state of affairs quite well. Not much has changed over the last year in regards to the numerically small elite minority who are continuting their struggle to build a fence around their wealth. If you get chance, check out Journeyman Pictures. This is my favorite site for documentaries and actual video journalism on issues from around the world. They claim to be a "video encyclopedia of the world"

TRNN - US backs eastern secession in Bolivia

"Bolivia’s landowning eastern elite voted on Sunday for autonomy from
President Evo Morales' central government. According to author Forrest
Hylton the US government has spent up to $125 million dollars
supporting the secession movement, a movement which has been
disregarded by a large percentage of the Bolivian population as well as
governments from Bolivia's neighboring countries."
