18. The beginning of the fight for the world's most important resource: water. In Bolivia, privatization makes water unaffordable for many of its citizens and the resulting protest turns violent when the military opens fire.

  • did they interview david suzuki?

  • The female narrator of this film has to be the most enthusiastic person i have ever listened to.

  • shame no prominent marxists are featured in any of these videos...Hello, remember Marx? I think he had somehting to say about this in the 1800s...

  • the poor are still paying 10 times as much for their water as the rich. Water available only four hours a day and no new house have been connected.

    Franz Taquichiri, said "I don't think you'll find people who will say they're happy with service. No one will be happy unless they get service 24 hours a day."

    A Cochabamba activist during the unrest summed up her opinion of the situation by saying, "afterwards, what had we gained? We were still hungry and poor.

  • the leader of the protests even admitted it was a fail look up on wiki "2000 cochabamba protests you know why its a fail? because free water ends up wasting water, and if the govt supplies free water, people dont care how much they use because they are greedy and ignorant see tragedy of the commons""

    funny right? bolivia is worse off now than before bechtel and privatization.

  • sdsd

  • privatisation of water by the taps, fine i get that they have treated the water and costs, provided it is still affordable, it is a reasonable claim.

    but then collecting rainwater is a crime? now thats retarded.

    one thing i dont understand about the police brutality is that, dont they live there as well, with their families? dont they feel the same pain and frustrations as the protestors? or are they provided better welfare?

  • New World Order will rise December 21, 2012. D:
