Summary
In December 2001, there was a seismic shift in Argentina's economic and political landscape. The government devalued the currency and froze people s savings effectively pushing the middle class into the even larger pool of working poor. Currently, there are 20 million people below the poverty line. Countless children suffer malnutrition and many die from it. Unemployment and homelessness are rampant. In response to this crisis, a leader has emerged ready to do battle with the corrupt political system and corporations that exploit the poor. He is Raul Castells, born in the city of Rosario, birthplace of the legendary Che Guevara. He is a walking talking, pushing, barging force of nature. Along with his supporters, he has taken over MacDonalds outlets, occupied casinos and invaded government buildings. With intimate and often dangerously close access, Raul the Terrible is a warts-and-all portrait of a man driven to change the world, and a frightening insight into the politics of poverty.
