Las venas abiertas de América latina. Eduardo Galeano

Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx.

Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe.

Almost 40 years after Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano’s Open Veins of Latin America, documentary filmmaker Gonzalo Arijon reevaluates the situation. His search takes him from the soybean plantations of the Brazilian Amazon and the tin mines of Bolivia to the deep jungles of Ecuador. He shows how the current crop of leftist leaders in these countries are attempting to resist the squandering of natural resources by large, international companies. Arijon allows the local populations to speak for themselves, interspersing this with archive footage of speeches by Hugo Chávez, Lula and Evo Morales. We also hear the author Galeano himself.

After the unrest that was carried to the world by street-shot cell phone images, the Burmese dictatorship pledged ‘free’ elections in 2010. Undercover, Quebec filmmakers Pierre Mignault and Hélène Magny clandestinely were able to enter one of Burma’s most dangerous zones, penetrating into the heart of the Karen Nation, where civil war has been waging for 60 years. Breaking the Silence: Inside Burma’s Resistance demonstrates the strength of the Burmese people’s resistance and takes us deep into the country, disclosing the secret networks of militants fighting along the Thai border.
