Cochabamba!: Water War in Bolivia

Imagine a US corporation telling you that they own your rain water and will sell it back to you—and you don't even live on the same continent! Cochabamba! tells the story of the Water War, the first great victory against corporate globalization in Latin America. Olivera was at the center of the grassroots movement that brought thousands of ordinary working people to the streets of Cochabamba, Bolivia. The spokesperson for the Coordinadora, Olivera conveys the ideas and emotions of a firsthand participant in the triumphant struggle that not only regained control of the water but also kicked out the transnational corporation that had privatized it.
