Cocalero [videorecording] / Fall Line Films ... [et al.] presents a film by Alejandro Landes ; director, Alejandro Landes ; producer, Julia Solomonoff, Alejandro Landes.
"A lively story about geopolitics, people's movements, Indigenous culture, and one man's impressive determination, Cocalero closely follows Evo's campaign, getting up close and personal with the candidate and the union organization backing him, while presenting critical views of both. What makes Evo so fascinating is how unlikely a candidate he is. A relaxed 40-something bachelor who sports blue jeans and sneakers and lives in a one-room house, he drinks beer with his cronies and goes swimming in his underwear. Yet he moves effortlessly from formal fund-raising dinner to mass rally, charismatically proposing the redistribution of wealth, renationalization of industries, and legalization of coca products.A story of geopolitics"Born out of the U.S. war on drugs, an Aymara Indian coca leaf grower ('cocalero') named Evo Morales travels through the Andes and Amazon in jeans and sneakers, leading an historic bid to become Bolivia's first indigenous president.."--Caroline Libresco on container.
