Ecuador: Rain Forest vs Globalization (English Burn-In)

When Rafael Correa, an established economist, entered politics, he was a man on a mission. Elected as Ecuador's President in 2006, he quickly transformed a country with archaic structures into a social, independent, ecological and participative democracy. Ecuadoreans now have genuine reason to believe that the rigid structures of the past are no longer acceptable and that they have a voice.

My take

A thought-provoking examination of one leader's attempt to reshape a nation's relationship with its natural wealth and social structures. This is the kind of documentary that sparks genuine conversations about progress, politics, and what we're willing to sacrifice for change.
