Do the Math: Saving a Life with 500 Bolivianos
Disability movement leaders Feliza and Rose Mery talk about why a pension for people with disabilities is achievable in Bolivia. They show how 500 bolivianos is a reasonable amount of aid per month when the Minister of Communications, Marianela Paco, spends an inordinate amount for marketing per day.
LA LUCHA: When a group of people with disabilities in Bolivia unite in protest for a pension, they never imagined what was to come. They trek across the Andes, confronting a government that tries to silence them and a society indifferent to their struggle. A film by Violeta Ayala.
