Dir. Jorge Sanjinés - 1969, Bolivia, 70 min.

This powerful guerrilla-style film about an indigenous community that discovers a foreign aid group is sterilizing its women is credited with sparking the expulsion of the Peace Corps from Bolivia in 1971 for allegedly conducting illegal sterilization of Quechua women. A must-see for students of world and guerrilla fillmmmaking and the impact of 1960s world health programs on indigenous communities.
