Download The film, to be titled In Search of the Southern Cross, will depict Evo Morales from his modest beginnings in the Andean Plateau through his time as a union leader for Bolivia's coca growers, all the way to his historic presidential victory.Its Bolivian producer, Wilson Asturizaga, plans to shoot the project on a very modest fifty thousand dollar budget, well below the tens, or even hundreds of millions, spent on a typical Hollywood blockbuster in the United States. More interesting still is the fact that the producers say they're going to use a television reality show to cast the three actors who will play Evo Morales in the different stages of his life. And yes, the TV viewers themselves will be able to choose who gets the coveted roles in the film. Furthermore, the main character won't be named Juan Evo Morales Ayma, President Morales's full name, but rather 'Juan Publo', or John Public, in a tribute to the fact that Evo Morales is just like everybody else and not a member of Bolivia's wealthy elite. The producers hope to cast the film in May and to have it ready for release by October of this year, in time for the third anniversary of the street protests in 2003 in which sixty people died. It was those protests which eventually forced the resignation of then president Gonzales Sanches de Lozada and paved the way for Evo Morales's final ascent to the top.titledcalled or namedto shoot the projectto record the film, to make the filma very modest fifty thousand dollar budgeta very small amount of money available to make the film (unlike Hollywood movies that have lots of money, that have very large budgets)reality showa television programme with no actors (no one in the programme earns money as an actor)to cast the three actorsto find the three people needed to pretend to be (to act as) Evo Moralescoveted rolesthe acting jobs in the film that most people want (in this case, the role of Evo Morales)main characterthe person that the film is all aboutwealthy elitea small group of people who have lots of moneyready for releaseready to be shown in cinemas, ready for people to see the film
