[...] Bolivia's economy was suffering at the hands of fluctuating international markets and a weak agricultural sector that was also seriously under-capitalized and non-competitive; food imports were increasing, reaching an alarming 19 percent of total imports by 1950, also placing a heavy burden on the nation's treasury.

For more than five years, Buffalo-born writer and filmmaker Edward Ellis lived and worked in Venezuela, where his plan was to learn Spanish, help out with human rights work and find a research project for a doctorate degree. Seeing what was happening to poor farmers in the country, Ellis decided not to pursue an academic career, but instead became a filmmaker to help document these stories. He spent two years with a camera and very little resources to tell the story of farmers who were facing a wave of violence sparked after an agrarian reform law was passed in 2001. The film, "Tierras Libres," Ellis says, is the story of the age-old struggle for land in Latin America and the current manifestation of this struggle in contemporary Venezuela.

On Feb 28, 2008, two months after unsuccessful negotiations between Evo Morales' Movement Toward Socialism Party (MAS) and the opposition group PODEMOS, Bolivia's national congress approved the staging of two national referendums that were to be held on May 4, 2008. The opposition group, which still refuses to acknowledge the government-backed proposed constitution, is mainly composed of Bolivia's dissident-dominated eastern states.
