People & Power - Bolivian Showdown - 30 April 08 - Part 2

Bolivia is the grip of a power struggle between the president, Evo Morales, and three of the country's wealthier departments in the east of the country known collectively as the Media Luna, who are seeking autonomy.

People & Power's Bob Abeshouse visits the east and west of the South American country and explores forces that could lead to violence and even civil war.
