Documentary Photography - Bolivia

These pictures document what happened in Bolivia between 2003 and 2008. They show some moments before, during and after Evo Morales was elected the President of Bolivia in 2005. Before his time the country lived a civil war, with clashes and more than 80 deaths. With Evo the country began to change, giving the indigenous more rights, importance in politics and mainly a new voice to be respected. But Bolivia was and still is the poorest country in South America, and changes take place not so fast. Lack of education, a very bad health system, corruption and many other social problems conform the reality and daily fight for Evo Morales.
