As Bolivia's political struggles intensify, the country's indigenous filmmaking--which first made an impact in the 1960s--has been invigorated anew. It is currently producing some of the most exciting and innovative work in all of Latin America, as filmmakers fervently resist the otherwise-dominant commercial norms of the region's conspicuously Caucasian-flavored, Spanish-language film and television programming. They have dared to explore race and identity issues with a confrontational frankness that has forced these debates to the surface and center of the national dialogue. Additionally, they've become a most vibrant chronicle and critique of globalization-related and U.S.-specific involvement in the Andes, from the ground up.
