South of the Border Interview: Venice Film Festival 2009

The transcript discusses the failure of capitalism in Latin America, particularly after Reagan's era and the implementation of neoliberal policies known as the Washington Consensus. These policies led to increased poverty and dissatisfaction among the people. Countries like Ecuador, Bolivia, and Venezuela resisted these changes, while Brazil and Argentina continue to face challenges. The IMF's influence remains strong, with recent European investments potentially luring countries back to neoliberal practices. The future of capitalism in the region remains uncertain.
