Washington Bullets - help us expose Bolivia's coup
vimeo.com
www.washingtonbullets.movie - help us fund this documentary!

Props and RIP to the original Chapo subreddit, without whom I would've never been aware of these leaked audio clips of the Bolivian opposition

With this documentary, we hope to offer the definitive statement on Bolivia's 2019 political crisis, exposing the role of the United States, the OAS, and Bolivia's right wing. If you want to help, check out our fundraiser at http://www.washingtonbullets.movie/ . We're gathering resources to travel for interviews, submit our work to film festivals, and generally do everything we can to set the record straight on this imperialist aggression against Bolivia. Just sharing our project on social media is also a huge help. We'll be keeping you updated as the film progresses; we've confirmed a few prominent anti-imperialist voices who will be a part of this documentary, who we'll be revealing to you very soon. Follow us for updates!

      Thanks so much!

      We were just made aware of the book by Vijay Prashad (I suppose we're bad comrades for not being aware of this work by a great author)--we had originally gotten the title from the song by The Clash! But we've contacted Dr. Prashad to make sure there's no issue. Worse case scenario, we change the title, and best case scenario, we get him to take part in the documentary. He's exactly the kind of person we want to be part of this--in addition to getting testimony from Bolivians on the ground, we want to feature some anti-imperialist academics and personalities to help put this all in context, in regards to the U.S.'s historical interference in Bolivia as well as imperialist aggression in Latin America and throughout the world.

        Oh nice! I was just wondering because in addition to the name he wrote about coups and even the coup in Bolivia in it so it seemed very relevant.

      Jesus that from a year ago. Totally unaware of those recordings. How has the fact of their existence been processed by the media and state narratives? Has it just been ignored by EU and US state and media?

        yeah the recordings were totally ignored by the media, who kept pushing the CIA narrative via the OAS

    Kudos for this and the work that you do. Will stan the shit out of your documentary. "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" was a massive eye opener for me on Latin America

    Gonna donate on payday. Super pumped for this.

    Also, if you need any extra hands, PA's, cam op, whatever, I'm down myself and have plenty of other friends that would be as well.

    A very important subject, definitely. Will you be releasing it as a DVD or on BitTorrent as well?
