- Date: 6th July 2003
- Description:Like many people,journalist and documentary filmmaker Sean Langan had heard about globalisation. He'd seen the anti-globalisation riots and protests on television,but apart from some vague notion that Nike,mobile phones and a Big Mac were all somehow involved,he wasn't really sure what globalisation really meant. So he travelled from one end of Latin America to the other,to find out what it means for the people there,and,more importantly,to see for himself what impact it's had on their lives. Travels of a Gringo,a three-part series,follows Sean on his long journey of discovery. Written and filmed by; Sean Langan Producer; Ben Summers (Episode Two) Sean Langan arrives in La Paz; the capital of Bolivia,during the middle of a presidential election,Langan immediately finds himself hanging out with coca-chewing politicians and anti-gringo protestors. Next stop is Caracas,the capital of Venezuela,where the president has recently survived an attempted coup welcomed by George Bush and the protestors are even angrier and even more anti-gringo. Following various protests and shoot-outs,a full-scale riot breaks out.
