In the worldwide struggle against poverty and oppression, Latin America is clearly at the forefront. From Venezuela to Chile, the people of the region have shown enormous courage and sacrifice to fight to challenge imperialism and the corporations that dominate their lives.

Bolivia is no exception. With mass strikes, protests, and the election of a left-wing president, Evo Morales, the country has become an inspiration to others. Today the revolution is at a crossroads, with workers and peasants searching for a way to take the struggle forward and defend themselves against growing the counter-revolution. Come hear an eyewitness account of the struggles on the ground in Bolivia and the prospects of a revolutionary movement with significant international implications.

Recognizing the international significance of the rising tide of struggles of poor and indigenous people sweeping Latin America, Adam gave up the comforts of life in the U.S., left his family and friends, and moved to Cochabamba, Bolivia where the struggle is most advanced. As the impoverished Bolivian people know only too well, building mass movements against the poverty and oppression caused by capitalism and Western imperialism is a daunting task, but one that Adam has nonetheless dedicated his life to. Not even deportation and physical threats from reactionaries and semi-fascist groups have deterred Adam from supporting the struggle of Bolivia's poor and working class.
