Doc 2003 Competition

Como Bush ganò las elecciones (en Ecuador)


Country: Italy
Year: 2003
Duration: 63


A documentary film on the illusions of the indigenous movements who believed that change was in making with the election of Lucio Gutierrez with their determinant support in November 2002. The newly elected president quickly repositioned himself at the side of the USA and the IMF. He presides over a country where 84% of the population lives with just above 1 US$ a day and 40% of the state budget continues to be allocated to external debt service. This is a film on the paradigms of structural adjustment and neo-liberal policies as integral part of new imperial logic of the only remaining superpower. Militarisation as economic and trade strategy for South America as in the rest of the world. The forthcoming wars in the region for the control of oil, water and bio-diversity
