Massive Protests in Bolivia Against Evo Morales Government
This touching documentary from Claudia Fernandez and produced by environmental organization FOBOMADE gives voices to the indigenous peoples of the natural park TIPNIS in Bolivia.  President Evo Morales has decided to build a road dividing the park in half, destroying in this way one of the most rich reserves in terms of biodiversity on the planet and erasing three ethnic groups. At the time of posting this video, around 2000 indigenous people are marching to La Paz to defend their rights, and are being repressed by the police and the thugs of the government. These thugs are denying access to medical supplies, food and water for the protesters donated by the people of Bolivia sympathetic to the cause. video source: hmoreauful To support the indigenous people's rights, sign the Avaaz petition here: http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_tipnis/?fp

Short video showing heated debate in San Francisco square in La Paz, Bolivia about TIPNIS. The debate is becoming increasingly polarised in Bolivia. Protests in Bolivia are hitting the international headlines again. This time the conflict is between Bolivia´s first indigenous government, led by President Evo Morales, and indigenous peoples. The controversy causing shockwaves at home and abroad is the plan by the government to build a highway through the middle of a national park that is also a recognised autonomous indigenous territory called TIPNIS (Isiboro Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory).
