Program:
Romance Languages
This series of programs looks at Latin America through its women--a drastic change from the usual Latin american protagonists, the generals
and revolutionaries, cowboys, and drug barons. This is the other half of that world: women who transport drugs across borders for their men,mothers
searching for theit disappeared sons and lovers, as well as women teachers, engineers, ministers, and even (inNicaragua) a president. This is the real story of
Latin America: the story of the impoverished, the discriminated-against, the suppressed, the story of Latin America`s women who discharge the burden of
living and enabling their children to survive." Notes: Set of thirteen videos:Bolivia: La Coca, Alimento delos Pobres/ Brasil: Sacredotistas, Sambistas y Mulatas de Brasil/Chilenas: Del Drama a la
