this 60 min documentary shows how the country was systematically ruined by US imperialism and the international financial institutions IMF and the world bank under the label of neoliberalism, as well as the help of a corrupt political class. the compact and unanimous resistance of the public since the 19th/20th december 2001 has started to stir things up, slowly but surely: people are getting together in neighbourhood meetings, the unemployed are blocking streets, factories are being occupied and run by the workers, the unpunished military regime (there were 30,000 people missing during the military dictatorship) and politicians are attacked on the street and openly condemned. the poor - who have no house, no tarmac roads, no money for food - speak out, as well as professors, activists, factory occupants; the people who get together at the meetings.
