The U.S. has directed its war on drugs against Bolivian coca-growing regions. The Bolivian government has attempted to eradicate coca crops which in turn devastated the livelihood of indigenous people who cultivated it. In response to the current government’s actions, the farmers formed a powerful union. Their leader is the Aymara Indian “Evo Morales”. In 2005 this unwavering, unpretentious socialist made a historic bid for the presidency.

This is the story about geopolitics, the people's movement, indigenous culture, and one man's impressive determination to reach for the presidency.
