This is the story of the deal that put Vladimir Putin into the Kremlin.

The tiny group of officials and super-rich businessmen around Boris Yeltsin and his children, known as "The Family" gave a leg up to Putin in the understanding that he would protect them from ambitious prosecutors who wanted to nail them for their corrupt practices. The generals and spy chiefs who'd been humiliated in Chechnya were aching for a war of revenge. Putin would let them fight their war. It's a story that has little to do with democracy, and a lot to do with the real exercise of raw power in modern Russia.

Government, marked the beginning of the cocaine era in Bolivia. Pressed by the masses who gave him a massive mandate, the first indigenous President Evo Morales an ex-coca leaf farmer, has nationalised the oil industry and passed laws on the Agrarian reform. All the election speeches, which resulted in his landslide victory, sounded quite revolutionary, the iconography too, but looking harder into it, it emerges that the old system is pretty much alive inside the new one. Corruption, nepotism and old-fashioned populism
are at the core of this movement. The more Evo does to create employment, the more the landownersconspire against him and paralyse Bolivia’s economy. As a result, no jobs are created and the poor press Evo even harder. Thus a cycle of tension threatens to crush the country and the indigenous revolution as well. Looking for the Revolution is about the inner workings of that tension as witnessed by the characters of the film. The landowners and the indigenous movement are still wrestling for power and neither has
claimed victory yet. Ultimately, the search for the revolution that Che Guevara tried to start in Bolivia isnow in Morales’ hands.
