EVO & BOLIVIA – US MIGRANT ACTIVISM – PARAGUAYAN FILM
In Episode #4:
Newsflash (02:00): Laurie dials in to La Paz to catch up with with Amaru Villanueva, a PhD candidate in Sociology at the University of Essex, about Bolivia’s elections in October. Can leftist Evo Morales win a fourth consecutive term and stay in power until 2025, are the polls telling the real story, and what kind of country will Evo leave to his (eventual) successor?
Deep Dive (19:20): John interviews Cristina Jiménez, the co-founder and director of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led network in the US. They talk about how social movements can play a part in standing up to hostile policies, and the cohesive forces that help migrants assimilate.
Culture (44:00): Laurie catches up with filmmaker Marcelo Martinessi to discuss “Las Herederas,” his prize-winning study of same-sex desire among Paraguay’s stuffy bourgeoisie, which was released in 2018 to universal acclaim at film festivals worldwide. Marcelo reflects on why the movie produced such strong reactions, and the challenges of making art in a deeply conservative society.
